Red Bull to sign Robin Räikkönen to junior programme

Red Bull is reportedly set to sign 11-year-old kart racer Robin Räikkönen to its junior programme. The son of former Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen was seen at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza heading toward the Red Bull motorhome.

Senior Red Bull figures, including CEO of Corporate Projects and New Investments Oliver Mintzlaff and co-owner Chalerm Yoovidhya, were also present at the circuit. The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen the junior programme, which recently added talent spotter Gwen Lagrue and announced Tom McCullough as Head of Racing for 2027.
