Ben Waterhouse

Ben Waterhouse, was with Red Bull Racing right at the very beginning – but he certainly hasn’t taken the direct path to his current position as our Head of Performance Engineering. Ben studied automotive engineering at Loughborough University but turned to motorsport shortly after graduation. He came here in December 2003 as a structural analysis engineer, moving into vehicle dynamics by the time Red Bull Racing came into being. He departed in 2008 for a role with BMW-Sauber, and was part of a talented cadre of engineers that oversaw a series of memorable years for the Swiss outfit, during which time he rose to the position of head of vehicle performance.

Returned to the Red Bull fold in 2014 Ben first headed to Faenza as the Deputy Technical Director of Toro Rosso. He spent three years working at our sister team, before concluding his peripatetic wanderings and returning to Red Bull Racing in 2017, first as Deputy Head of Performance Engineering before stepping up to Head of Performance Engineering in the summer of 2018.
