Mekies – Red Bull ‘famous’ for snap driver changes
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies acknowledged that his team has gained a reputation for making quick changes in drivers in Formula 1. Despite heading into the winter break, Red Bull remains focused as major regulations changes loom ahead, with new driver Isack Hadjar needing support to settle in. Mekies recognizes the challenges of the second seat at Red Bull, notably after transitioning Yuki Tsunoda out for Hadjar. Mekies expressed difficulty in the decision but remains hopeful Tsunoda will find a new opportunity in Formula 1. Looking ahead, Mekies aims for a smoother transition for Hadjar in 2026, avoiding the abrupt changes seen in the past.
