Visa Cash App RB finds new CTO from the FIA

Visa Cash App RB (VCARB) has a new chief technical officer (CTO). The team have strengthened with Tim Goss, who until recently worked at the FIA. Guillaume Cattelani joins the team as deputy technical director, reporting to technical director Jody Egginton.

Tim Goss brings a wealth of experience, having spent over 28 years at McLaren. There he rose from Assistant Race Engineer to Head of Vehicle Performance, Chief Engineer, Director of Engineering and Technical Director in 2013. During this time, he was partly responsible for five drivers' titles with Senna, Hakkinen and Hamilton. He joined the FIA's Single-Seater Technical Group in 2021 and became the Federation's Technical Director in 2023, serving in this role until January this year.

Goss is looking forward to the challenge

“I am delighted to join Visa Cash App RB at the start of its new era of competition,” said Goss. “It’s a team with great pride and heritage, with some exceptional people already in place, and I’m looking forward to working with Team Principal Laurent Mekies and alongside Technical Director Jody Egginton. There’s an exciting challenge ahead of us but I think the team is well-equipped to meet that head on.”

Cattelani comes from Red Bull Racing

Guillaume Cattelani becomes deputy technical director. With more than 15 years of F1 experience at Lotus, McLaren and most recently, Red Bull Technology, he will focus on aerodynamics, vehicle performance and technology, setting performance targets and providing operational leadership to achieve these objectives. “It’s fantastic to have this opportunity to take the Visa Cash App RB team to the next level of competitiveness,” said Cattelani. “I’m really looking forward to working with Jody and all of the other members of the technical team to create machinery that drives the team forward and takes us towards the front of the grid.”
