With this comes an end to over twenty years in Formula 1 for Egginton which began at Tyrrell before he worked with Midland, Spyker, Force India, and Lotus before moving to work with Toro Rosso from 2014 as Head of Vehicle Performance. He was promoted to Technical Director in 2019, but after over five years in that role has said he’s now excited for a “new challenge”.
“Being part of this team for over 10 years has been a fantastic experience for me, providing some very memorable moments. But after almost 20 years of focussing solely on Formula One, I feel it’s time for a change,” he said.
Racing Bulls’ team principal, Laurent Mekies, paid tribute to Egginton as their “long-serving Technical Director” as being “instrumental in driving innovation and fostering team growth.”
“I want to thank Jody for his expertise and the important contribution he has made to the team and the company’s upward trajectory.”
“We wish him all the best for this new challenge within the Red Bull family.”
With the 2025 season set to get underway this week, Egginton’s role will be covered by the team’s Chief Technical Officer Tim Goss, Guillaume Cattelani, Deputy Technical Director for Car Performance, and Andrea Landi, Deputy Technical Director for Car Design.
