Overview
- Multiple outlets, which reported the news Friday, say Paul Monaghan intends to leave Red Bull and has chosen Cadillac as his next employer.
- Reporting identifies Monaghan as Red Bull’s long‑serving chief engineer who joined the team in 2005 and helped deliver every championship campaign since then.
- Cadillac is building a new Formula 1 operation and has been recruiting senior Red Bull staff to accelerate its technical setup, with Monaghan expected to take a senior engineering leadership role.
- Sources say Monaghan has not formally exited Red Bull and both Red Bull and Cadillac declined to comment, so any move remains unconfirmed on the record.
- Monaghan is expected to serve contractual gardening leave, which reporters say would likely prevent him from starting at Cadillac before summer or autumn 2027 and could slow Cadillac’s near‑term onboarding of his expertise.
