Laurent Mekies has taken over the day-to-day running of the Red Bull team following Christian Horner’s dismissal from the team.
Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer raised concerns about the Red Bull project following Christian Horner’s departure as team principal.
After 20 years in charge, Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies, who faces the challenge of turning around the team’s fortunes.
The potential loss of Max Verstappen to Mercedes adds to Red Bull’s uncertainties as they navigate through the technical regulations shift next year.
Palmer emphasized the magnitude of Mekies’ task in stabilizing the team’s performance and adapting to the new power units they are developing.
The pressure is high on Mekies due to the significant changes in personnel and regulations without a major overhaul as seen in the past.
Navigating this transition while trying to maintain competitiveness will be a daunting task for the Frenchman and the Red Bull team.
