Red Bull, Monaghan is really leaving: Cadillac is in his future

Goodbye confirmed In recent days we had reported to you the indiscretion, launched by the former driver and now TV commentator Ralf Schumacher, according to which Red Bull was about to lose another historic element of its team, which has been working in Milton Keynes since the end of the 2005 season: chief engineer Paul Monaghan. Now these rumors have found another confirmation and it seems that Monaghan’s time at Red Bull is truly coming to an end. American adventure The Dutch version of the RacingNews365 website confirmed the probable farewell and also suggested what the historic Red Bull engineer’s next destination could be: the Cadillac team. In the newly formed American team Monaghan would hold (or will hold, if we want to give the deal away already) a high-level management position within the engineering department. Aston Martin would also have approached the 58-year-old Briton, but his choice seems to have gone to the stars and stripes team, even if neither Red Bull nor Cadillac have officially confirmed the negotiation. As RacingNews365 explains, despite several well-informed sources confirming his intention to leave the team, Monaghan’s formal exit procedure has not yet been initiated. In any case, the current Chief Engineer for Car Engineering of Milton Keynes would have to observe a period of gardening leave before being able to wear the uniform of his new team. This means that if he were to leave Red Bull at the end of the 2026 season, he could start working for Cadillac no earlier than the summer or fall of 2027.
