Red Bull hires key Mercedes figure for F1 engine programme

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen go head to head at the Imola GP

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Red Bull Powertrains has recruited Mercedes High Performance Powertrains’ Head of Engineering to front its Formula 1 engine project, with a focus on the new 2025 formula.

Red Bull Powertrains was formed earlier this year in response to Honda’s decision to withdraw as a Formula 1 engine supplier.

A deal struck between Red Bull and Honda means the team can continue to use the Japanese power units for the 2022-24 period under the upcoming engine freeze.

Hodgkinson, who previously worked in the WRC before joining Ilmor Racing, which later morphed into Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains – which develops the engines used by the Mercedes F1 Team – will join Red Bull Powertrains as Technical Director once the terms of his current contract with HPP are fulfilled.

Hodgkinson will head up the development of Red Bull’s inaugural power unit, to comply with the new Formula 1 regulations currently planned for 2025, which sees the introduction of a new engine formula that will likely use biofuels in an attempt to cut carbon emissions.

“I’m extremely excited to be joining Red Bull Powertrains as Technical Director,” he said. “It was not easy to make the decision to leave HPP after almost 20 years but the opportunity to take on such a far-reaching and important project is a great honour.

“Red Bull is a serious player in Formula 1 and have been our biggest rival in the hybrid era, so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together in this new phase of the company’s journey.”

Red Bull team boss and CEO, Christian Horner, added: “We are delighted to welcome Ben to Red Bull Powertrains as Technical Director. He comes to this hugely exciting project as a proven race winner and as an innovator capable of leading a like-minded team of highly skilled engineers.

“When Red Bull announced the creation of Red Bull Powertrains it was also announcing a new phase of the company’s ambition in Formula 1 – to bring every aspect of car design in-house and to put our destiny in our own hands.

“The ultimate expression of that is the development of a Red Bull power unit to meet the next generation of Formula 1 engine regulations.

“Ben’s appointment signals our long-term intent and we will support him and his team with every available resource required in order to succeed.”

    …And the Mercedes ship sinks a little bit more. History never fails to repeat itself in F1 — wherever top personnel are going, that is who always ends up on top. I’m thinking the future of F1 is probably going to revolve around Red Bull and McLaren, and possibly Alpine. Williams are hiring good talent, too, but they have a long way to go.

      Indeed, nobody is on top forever, although Mercedes have certainly done a good job of trying to be!

    Careertunity is a leading online Dubai job portal career expert
    discussing on their blog how to balance professional and personal
    life. How many times have you come to work feeling that you never had a weekend?
    If you’ve had that feeling more than a few times, then it is worth considering if you have
    achieved a balance between your working and personal lives.

    ‘Work-life balance’ website ) has become a common phrase in recent years.
    This is because of the increased demands from work
    and home and the many responsibilities people face today.
    This has brought about the challenging need for prioritising and balancing between the work (job and ambitions) aspect of life and the personal (personal life, family, leisure and well-being) aspect of life.
    An ever demanding workplace and self-set targets lead to disharmony with one’s personal life which in turn affects the work/professional life.
    Not balancing these two crucial aspects effectively could lead to neglect of
    one of them, thus negatively affecting your personal, social and family life or your job demands, expectations and requirements.

    Setting a principle-centred agenda and sticking to it
    is the key to the work-life balance. This agenda should include your values and fundamental beliefs.

    After identifying your values and what is truly important to you in your
    life, prioritise these values based upon how much attention you want to give to each of them.

    We are adept at creating goals for our work, be it targets, KRA
    or long-term goals and the like, yet most likely we’ve never looked at this tool (goal-setting) for our personal life.
    It is important that we create goals for our personal
    life also which should include self and family members’ concerns; these goals –
    like any other – should be supported by time frames and a built-in mechanism of rewards for their
    achievement. A relevant example from one manager’s life in Dubai
    would be her desire to learn Arabic but not finding time because of her work
    being too engaging; to resolve this she kept a target of 6
    months to start speaking basic Arabic to help her in day-to-day conversation. The target was specific,
    measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound (SMART).
    It also had a reward component. At the end of the 6 months if she could achieve her target,
    she promised herself to buy 2 expensive books which she had been eyeing but had refrained from buying.
    And she did it!

    As simple as it may sound, this may still take time, as apart from prioritising
    your values, you also want to devote your full attention to one priority
    at a time. Also, the importance of these values and priorities may change
    during your life depending on your age, marital or social status,
    family at the time and your position and role at work and in your profession. Other factors such as whether you are new to a career or whether you
    have been in your position for a while could also affect your priorities.
    In addition, you should also give consideration to your hobbies and extracurricular activities which give you time for relaxation and ‘de-stressing’ Using this
    list of priorities to govern your time and attention will
    also encourage you to drop unnecessary activities that may be keeping you away from the things that matter to you more.

    Remember when seeking balance between your professional
    and personal life is that trying to allocate an equal number of hours for each
    is usually ineffective and unrealistic. Therefore,
    rather than focusing on the number of hours, you should use the hours and time you do have to give your full attention to what you
    are doing at the time. Moreover, keep in mind that your performance at work should
    not be judged by the number of hours you’ve worked but rather on the quality of the work.
    You should also learn to compartmentalise your mental and physical
    contributions to the activity you are engaged in so that you are effectively balancing between the two aspects of your life.
    Teach yourself to be in charge of your own schedule and rather than thinking ‘I don’t have time for that’, make time for the things that
    are truly significant for your happiness and well-being.
