During his rookie F1 season with Racing Bulls, the French-Algerian driver has impressed, putting himself in contention for a seat at Red Bull currently occupied by Yuki Tsunoda.
Significant changes have occurred within the Red Bull Racing family, with Mekies taking over as team principal and CEO following Christian Horner’s departure.
