Horner has been replaced as team principal by 48-year-old French engineer Laurent Mekies, whose technical expertise means a “different direction” looks inevitable for Max Verstappen’s outfit

Isack Hadjar reacted on Thursday to Laurent Mekies' promotion from Racing Bulls boss to Red Bull as replacement for Christian Horner by saying it could be "useful" for his own Formula One prospects. T

Liam Lawson says he was not “really aware” of any tension between Christian Horner and others at Red Bull Racing during his brief stint with the team at the start of F1 2025. And he has called for Horner’s replacement Laurent Mekies to be “trusted to do the job he’s very good at doing” at Red Bull’s senior team.
