Internet gaat los op overstap van Mercedes-techneuten naar Red Bull: 'Oh boy!'

More staff poached from Mercedes HPP. Huge play from Red Bull. https://t.co/kRAHFHZdYs pic.twitter.com/tPuoD7RReC

Hier doelde Toto dus op in de vrijdagse persco met het spreekwoordelijke 'wedstrijdje touwtrekken'. En ook met de woorden dat er in de komende weken nog wel meer zou volgen. Voila, weer vijf Mercedes-medewerkers naar Red Bull Powertrains #F1 #SpanishGP https://t.co/xZT6XQDgJj

Dat is wel een coup. Nog eens 5 mensen vanuit Mercedes richting Red Bull.

Is er een goede busverbinding tussen Brixworth en Milton Keynes? 🚌

Om al dat Mercedes-personeel naar Red Bull Racing te krijgen 😅😉#F1 #SpanishGP https://t.co/3zOaczD7Jm

Well... Red Bull are doing it right. They’ve added five more former Mercedes HPP engineers to their new power unit team, all joining Ben Hodgkinson in jumping ship.

If you can’t beat them, sign their best guys. You have to applaud it. #F1 https://t.co/8YbahWQ9tc

Red Bull has announced five key appointments for its new powertrain division, all of them headhunted from Mercedes HPP, just down the road. Someone in Milton Keynes has been busy on LinkedIn 😀

Red Bull are raiding Mercedes for their Engine programme it’s crazy! This, along with the rule changes being implemented in the next few years, is gonna be a really good battle between the two constructors. Also don’t forget Ferrari will come back!
