The soon-to-be-renamed team has long had an aerodynamics department in Bicester, but as part of its ongoing expansion, its British base will be moved to Milton Keynes, close to the home of sister squad Red Bull.
The new facility, which will also house vehicle dynamics staff, will be larger and better equipped than its predecessor.
Bayer believes that the move will help the team to compete for top talent in the UK’s busy F1 job market.
“The Milton Keynes Performance Centre is necessary because the Bicester facility is becoming too small already,” Bayer told Autosport. “We don't have any parking spaces, we have no canteen.
“We have to be an attractive employer. First of all, it obviously starts with the team as such, with the identity, but then there's also the facilities and the opportunities for people to have a career path. And that's why those facilities will be extremely important.
“Also, the lease in Bicester is running out, so we had to make a move anyway. And the advantage of obviously being closer to Red Bull Racing and their campus is that it will be easier for us when it's about wind tunnel work, about simulator work. So that all will make life easier for all the engineers.”
