New Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies has revealed he will encourage the team to take the “bold decisions” that will be required to restore it to the pinnacle of F1.
The new Red Bull boss, Laurent Mekies, aims to lead the team in making bold decisions necessary to bring them back to the top of Formula 1.
Despite their near-dominance since 2022, Red Bull is currently facing the likelihood of missing out on both championships this season.
Max Verstappen’s championship reign seems to be ending with him falling 69 points behind, and Red Bull trailing McLaren by a significant 288 points.
Red Bull’s performance has declined compared to previous seasons due to balance issues with the RB20, which have somewhat improved with the new RB21 but still aren’t enough for Verstappen to challenge McLaren consistently.
Mekies, taking over from Christian Horner, believes in the team’s potential and aims to create an environment where they can excel and showcase their talents.
He acknowledges the extraordinary talents and racing spirit within the team and plans to support them in every way possible to continue their winning legacy.
Mekies stresses the importance of empowering the team to make brave decisions in pursuit of the small improvements that can make a significant difference in the highly competitive world of Formula 1.
