Laurent Mekies contract extension at Red Bull Racing

Overview

Red Bull Racing has officially extended the contract of CEO and Team Principal Laurent Mekies through the end of the 2031 season. The announcement follows a period of transition for the Milton Keynes-based team after Mekies assumed leadership in July 2025 following the departure of Christian Horner.

Shareholders and management credited Mekies with successfully guiding the organization through a critical period, including the team’s first season as a power unit manufacturer. The decision to provide long-term stability comes amid recent competitive successes, such as victories by Max Verstappen in Malaysia and Singapore.
