Red Bull will hire a chief mechanic through an advertisement.

      We wrote that Max Verstappen’s chief mechanic, Matt Koller, will change teams next year, having signed a contract with Audi F1.

      His twin brother John Koller will remain at Red Bull Racing, where he currently works as Yuki Tsunoda’s chief mechanic, and the team has advertised a vacancy for the chief mechanic of the other car on industry websites — that is required by British hiring laws.

      The team is looking for an “experienced, driven mechanic with a strong track record in top-level motorsport and the ability to work under pressure.” The benefits package includes a bonus scheme, medical and pension coverage, a gym and free lunches.

      The potential salary is not stated, but former Red Bull mechanic Callum Nicholas recently said that the average salary for Formula 1 technical staff is about £60,000 a year with an average 70-hour workweek.
