Laurent Mekies extends contract as Red Bull's F1 team boss

Laurent Mekies has signed a contract extension keeping him as the team principal and chief executive of the Red Bull Formula 1 team until the end of 2031. The new agreement secures his leadership of the Austrian outfit through at least six seasons, following his initial appointment in July 2025.

Mekies originally joined the team to succeed Christian Horner, whose departure concluded a 20-year tenure at the helm of the Red Bull F1 organization. This long-term extension solidifies the team's leadership structure under the French boss for the foreseeable future.
