Mercedes play down Red Bull's recruiting of F1 engine staff

SILVERSTONE, England : Once-dominant Mercedes have played down the impact of staff leaving their Formula One engine division to join Red Bull's new powertrains company and other rival manufacturers.

Red Bull have since been on top and have set up their own power unit operation for a new engine era from 2026 with several senior employees hired from Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains . "HPP has 1,000 employees and lost some to Red Bull in the same way we lost some to Ferrari, and we lost some to Renault, and indeed the other way around," said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff at the British Grand Prix.

"The people they've hired, we wish them the best. Some of them were retired in our organisation and ended up there in a leading position, but that's fine. They've been given a second lifeline."
