The success story of RB will have obviously resulted in new legends born. Neither Newey nor Wheatley are silver bullits, but are the catchy names heading a pool of talent. Can't wait to see who will step out of their shadow.
I agree, it will be interesting. A lot of people that Red bull are losing currently were "18 year" staff. Red Bull could not survive off of these people forever. They would either retire or seek new projects at other teams or outside of F1.
Right now, Red Bull needs to be thinking about who among the new recruits and promotions will become the new "18 year staff" that the team will be remembered for in 10-15 years time.
Completely agree, any company serious about their performance will have in place variously;- succession planning for staff position, training targeted at bringing newer staff to fruition, "shadowing" of key personnel, general staff development, program of integrated staff performance assessment in their development, external targets if appropriate etc, etc.
A successful company doesn't get to and hold their performance without lucid overview of this sector in employment.
The key names we see here, and generally discussed through forum, did come to those positions from somewhere, longer development usually, until we then have a public name that is seen out in press or other assessment of their performance.
General commentary has absolutely no idea of who works in the background, with superficial judgment offered here and other places virtually worthless.
As with every team in F1 though, we're going to find out as the year turns on into next season etc. That's for the whole F1 field. The ultimate performance of the team is of course very public and liable to huge shift in positive or negative direction. This is one of the fascinating aspect of the sport though
