The identities of four important Red Bull engineers that Ferrari are trying to recruit have bee⛦n reported.

  • Enrico Balbo - head of aerodynamics

  • David Morgan - aero tr😼ackside performance team leader

  • Ben Waterhouse - head of performance engineering

  • Alessandro Germani - aeroꦡdynamics development t🅠eam leader

Italian newspaper reports that the quartet are the subject 🦹of interest, and contact, from Ferrari🌜.

The drama and uncertainty at Red Bull means that other teams hav༒e “moved with great timing” to contact some of their crucial employees.

A year ago Ferrari failed to recruit Red Bull technical director Pierre Wache, and they have repeatedly been unable to temp༒t Adrian Newey toꦦ Italy.

But over the course of the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix it was revealed that Ferrari are int꧋erested in four oജther Red Bull members of staff.

Enrico Balbo, Re🍎d Bull’s head of aerodynamics, is Italian and was first contacted by Ferrari at last year’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix in April.

David Morgan, Red Bull’s aero trackside performance team leader, has worked with the Milton Keynes team for six years sin♛ce leaving Williams.

Be🗹n Waterhouse, the head of performance engineering, would know every intricacy of F1’s most 🏅dominant car.

Alessandro Germani, als꧋o from Italy, is reportedly an expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Intriguingly, Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzla♛ff was spotted in private talks with Ferrari president John Elkann in the paddock at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Talks took place within the Red Bull hospitality.

Italian media believes the meeting was to discuss the Concorde Agreement rather than the four Re🐭d Bull employees who Ferrari are looking at.

Elkann has “skilfully 💧tried to perceive, first-hand” the possible problems that exist within Red Bull over the past few weeks, Gazzetta report.

His presence in Saudi Arabia was a “strong signal” of “🗹closeness” to the Ferrari F1 team, and also of “direct involvement in the team's growth project”.

Should Ferrari be successful in temptin🌊g any of their targets to Italy? Then they would join Lewis Ham🍰ilton,who will swap Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025.
