Red Bull hijacks Audi announcement about Wheatley, but gives explanation

Red Bull Racing not only announced the departure of Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley on Thursday, but they also made it world-renowned that he will start working as team boss at Audi’s Formula 1 team (currently Sauber) after a period of gardening leave. In doing so, the Milton Keynes-based team announced the news before Audi, who say they have no comment on the announcement. However, Red Bull claims that talks between the two teams did take place before the announcement.
