RB team principal Laurent Mekies says the “beauty” of the project at the Faenza squad is the “freedom” it enjoys and has duly taken.
RB team principal Laurent Mekies highlighted the Faenza-based outfit’s “large level of freedom” in development during an exclusive interview with RacingNews365. The team’s autonomy from its sister F1 team has allowed it to strive for competitiveness independently. The rebranding of RB at the season’s start marked a new era for the former AlphaTauri/Toro Rosso operation, distinct from its previous role as a Red Bull talent proving ground. Mekies and CEO Peter Bayer’s appointments signify the team’s transformation into its own entity. Despite initial struggles, RB has shown promise with improving performances, aiming to secure a strong constructors’ championship finish. Mekies emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus, values, and nurturing team culture to drive continued progress and success in the face of challenges.
