Racing Bulls technical director Jody Egginton will leave the Formula 1 squad and move to Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the team has announced.
Egginton will stay within the Red Bull family but his move to Red Bull's technology arm means his time in F1 will come to an end after a career spanning almost 30 years.
The 51-year-old Briton has served as the Racing Bulls technical director since its Toro Rosso days in 2019. The Anglo-Italian outfit announced Egginton's departure would be covered by people already at the team.
Former FIA man Tim Goss, who joined last year as chief technical officer, will take on additional duties, as will his deputies Guillaume Cattelani and Andrea Landi, who head up car performance and design respectively.
"Being part of this team for over 10 years has been a fantastic experience for me, providing some very memorable moments,” said Egginton.
“But after almost 20 years of focusing solely on Formula 1, I feel it’s time for a change. I will have a great remit as Engineering Director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies and the company currently has an exciting list of projects, so I can’t wait to get started on this new challenge.”

Racing Bulls boss Laurent Mekies paid tribute to Egginton, who first joined Toro Rosso in 2014 after stints at Tyrell, various guises of Force India and Lotus.
“As our long-serving technical director, he has been instrumental in driving innovation and fostering team growth," he said.
"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.”
