News Summary:

On July 23, Red Bull continued to face pressure to sell its sister team, Racing Bulls, despite rejecting a reported £2.2 billion bid from BYD, as some Formula 1 rivals voiced concerns over the company's ownership of two teams on the grid. Earlier the same day, Gwen Lagrue, formerly Mercedes' chief driver scout, was set to join Red Bull to lead its driver development program. This move is expected to bring a significant cultural change to the Milton Keynes-based outfit, differing from the approach of his predecessor, Helmut Marko. This followed reports earlier on July 23 from German media indicating that Red Bull's F1 team has found replacements for both Helmut Marko and Gianpiero Lambiase. Max Verstappen's long-time race engineer, Lambiase, is reportedly slated to join McLaren in 2028 as chief racing officer, a development described as a significant blow to the team.
