Red Bull boss weighs up junior team solution to F1 problem
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies emphasizes that their team cannot simply duplicate Racing Bulls’ strategies to bounce back from their current F1 struggles. He took over the team last month after Christian Horner’s 20-year tenure came to an end. Having led Red Bull junior team Racing Bulls before, Mekies already has solid relationships with drivers Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda. Despite suggestions to share aspects of Racing Bulls’ car, Mekies explained that the development paths of the two teams are too distinct for direct transfer. Red Bull’s drop in performance led to Horner’s dismissal, with Verstappen carrying the team’s points burden, while to improve their constructors’ standing, they’ll need Tsunoda to consistently contribute points.
