Ferrari surprised at Red Bull: "We have done it without announcing it"

Red Bull is thus directly weakening the competitor. About a hundred employees from Brackley have been approached, of whom more than ten have accepted the offer. Mattia Binotto doesn't really understand why the team of Christian Horner and Helmut Marko are making all this public.

The Ferrari team boss says in conversation with Corriere della Sera: "In the last three years we have contracted more than 30 engineers from other teams. Red Bull announces it, we have done it without announcing it."

What Red Bull's reason is for announcing new personnel is unclear. Possibly the Milton Keynes-based formation does it purely and simply to be able to publicly tap the main opponent for winning the world championship in 2021.
