New Red Bull v Mercedes “Girlboss” Rivalry Leaves Fans Hungry For More As Latest Rumors Swarm the Internet

The 2023 off-season has been an eventful one, to say the least. The silly season extended into the new year and did not involve just the drives. We have seen plenty of managerial change as well in multiple teams in this year’s silly season. Mercedes, recently also joined the long list with their former chief strategist James Vowles joining Williams. Now, according to rumors, this change has opened up a scenario for a new kind of rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull.

Vowels’ move to Williams as the team principal has left a hole in the Mercedes’ strategic department. As per rumors, the Silver Arrows are looking to fill this position with Rosie Wait, an old member of the team.

Wait is been a vital member of the Brackley outfit for some time now as the head of race strategy. However, Wait has been on maternity leave since the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix. To jog your memory, the Spanish GP was a strategic masterclass that saw Lewis Hamilton take the top step of the podium.

Now that the chief strategist seat is vacant, Wait has a high chance of taking over Vowels’ role at Mercedes. This is exciting news for all Mercedes and F1 fans who are looking forward to this change for one particular reason.
