Racing Bulls has named Dan Fallows as its new Formula 1 technical director, bolstering its leadership ahead of the 2026 season. The experienced aerodynamicist joins from outside the Red Bull system to oversee the team's car development. This move aims to enhance competitiveness in the evolving regulatory landscape.
The Faenza-based Racing Bulls team announced the appointment of Dan Fallows as technical director on a date not specified in available reports. Fallows will report directly to chief technical officer Tim Goss and take charge of the car's overall technical direction, spanning design, aerodynamics, and on-track performance.
Fallows expressed enthusiasm for the role in a team statement: “I’m very pleased to be joining VCARB at an exciting time for the team. There is a clear vision and strong technical ambition, and I’m looking forward to working closely with Tim and the wider engineering group to help drive performance and continue building the team for the future.”
With over two decades in Formula 1, Fallows spent 15 years at Red Bull Racing, advancing from the aerodynamics department to chief engineer. He contributed significantly to the team's championship successes and had earlier worked with the Milton Keynes outfit during its Jaguar phase in the early 2000s.
In 2022, Fallows joined Aston Martin F1 Team as technical director, a move that initially caused contractual disputes with Red Bull. His time at Silverstone concluded in late 2024 amid a challenging season, after which he pursued independent projects through his company, Hiperformant.
Team principal Alan Permane praised the hire: “Dan has a wealth of experience, and his technical understanding and leadership will be a real asset to the team as we continue to develop and push forward competitively. We’re delighted to welcome him to VCARB.”
This addition, alongside Goss, signals Racing Bulls' efforts to strengthen its technical framework as it prepares for Formula 1's next regulatory era, translating strategic plans into improved race results.
