Laurent Mekies has stepped into one of Formula 1’s most high-profile roles, taking over as team principal and CEO of Red Bull Racing following the dismissal of Christian Horner just days after the British Grand Prix.
Idman.biz, citing BBC, reports that the 48-year-old Frenchman plans to adopt a soft-touch leadership style as he eases into his new position.
Mekies inherits a team that has seen a noticeable performance decline over the past 18 months. Rebuilding momentum and restoring Red Bull's dominance will be a key focus. His first public outing in charge comes at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, an ideal venue to make a strong impression and begin laying the foundation for a new era.
While challenges lie ahead, Mekies’ experience and calm demeanor could provide the stability Red Bull needs to reclaim its competitive edge in the second half of the season.
