"The first feeling is one of being privileged, being honored, to suddenly be part of such an incredible team,"
"This team has been winning more than anyone else in Formula One in the last two decades. And then suddenly you are part of it."
Laurent Mekies assumed leadership of Red Bull Racing in July after Christian Horner's departure, moving up from running the sister Racing Bulls team. Mekies projects an approachable, unflappable demeanor, exemplified by accommodating a starstruck production crew member for a selfie at Web Summit. Mekies emphasizes engineering-driven performance gains and reducing friction in workflows and processes, complementing technical focuses such as aerodynamics and tires. Partnerships receive strategic attention, illustrated by engagement with cybersecurity company 1Password and its CEO David Faugno, who took leadership at the same time as Mekies. Mekies contrasts with Horner's media-facing style through a more technical, process-oriented approach.
