Laurent Mekies has been appointed as the new team principal of Red Bull following Christian Horner's dismissal. Mekies, who has a 20-year career in Formula 1, previously led Red Bull's junior team, Racing Bulls. He began his career in 2001 with Arrows and later joined Minardi. His notable achievements include his time as safety director at the FIA and his tenure at Ferrari. At Racing Bulls, Mekies faced challenges, including the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, which he acknowledged could have been handled better.
"We are not happy with ultimately how we handled it, and of course we are very conscious that we could, and should, have done a better job."
