London: Red Bull sporting director Jonathan Wheatley will leave his position as sporting director at the end of the season, the reigning Formula One world champions announced Thursday.
The 57-year-old Briton will then serve a period of gardening leave ahead of becoming team principal at Audi ahead of the German manufacturer's planned entry into Grand Prix racing in 2026.
Wheatley arrived at Red Bull in 2006 and has helped the British-based team win six F1 constructors' titles as well as seven drivers' crowns.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "It has been a long and successful relationship with Jonathan, over 18 years.
"His contribution to six world constructors' titles and seven world drivers' championships, first as team manager and latterly sporting director will forever be a marker in our team history."
