Red Bull has committed to the hiring of a new key individual ahead of the upcoming F1 season.

A few days ago, the F1 world was abuzz with news that key personnel had left Red Bull Racing - however, reinforcements have also arrived.

According to RacingNews365 sources, Red Bull has hired Paul Gandolfi as its new chief commercial officer.

Although no announcement has been made by the team so far, according to our information, Gandolfi has already started working at his new position.

The Briton most recently worked at a sports marketing company called Right Formula in a similar position, but spent less than a year at the agency.

His previous position was particularly noteworthy, as he spent five years with the Ferrari F1 team, where he secured high-profile partnerships.

Gandolfi played a key role in the title sponsorship partnership between Ferrari and HP, which has been in place since 2024 and has given the Italian team its first title partner since 2021.

Thanks to one of the most significant sponsorship deals in F1 today, Ferrari is estimated to receive $100 million annually.

At Red Bull, the team is continuing to reshape after the Horner era ended last year.

According to paddock sources, the energy drink team is still looking to sign experienced professionals with respectable reputations in other key areas.
