Vídeo: RED BULL TIROU 200 FUNCIONÁRIOS DA MERCEDES? OU EXAGEROU UM POUCO NESSA? FÓRMULA 1 | GP EM CASA

Red Bull has been losing a lot of employees lately, several of them at a high level, such as Adrian Newey, Will Courtenay, Jonathan Wheatley and many, many others with this situation causing many to criticize the team’s management, as several of these losses were caused directly or indirectly. due to the controversies involving team boss Christian Horner at the beginning of this year and also to the power struggle that is currently taking place at Red Bull. Coincidence or not, after all these exits, Red Bull’s situation on the tracks is going from bad to worse, with the constructors’ title already being a distant dream, and Verstappen potentially losing the drivers’ title to Norris in this final stretch of the season, something difficult to imagine a while ago. However, in an interview, team manager Christian Horner stated that all these criticisms are nothing more than situations created by the media to sort of burn Red Bull’s film, since at the same time they are losing people, they are also hiring a lot of people, with him mentioning that they hired 200 employees from Mercedes, with another 250 hired from other teams to lead their projects, with the media only focusing on the people who left due to being more public than those who arrived. However, is this number of 200 people that Red Bull hired from Mercedes real? Well, the website gpblog contacted the team asking for more information, with Mercedes stating that this information from Horner is quite exaggerated, and that even though they did lose some employees to Red Bull, they claim that there were less than 100 people in the last 5 years, with some of them even returning to Mercedes, with this turnover being normal within Formula 1, as the teams have many employees and therefore, a lot of turnover among them. Well, Red Bull trying to increase the numbers a little to alleviate their situation? Or Mercedes slowing down to add more fuel to the fire?
