In a momentous shift for the Red Bull Racing Team, Mekies took his position on the pit wall, ready to lead the team to further glory. With Horner’s 20-year reign abruptly ended, Mekies finds himself at the forefront of a new era, tasked with navigating the team through uncharted waters.

The Belgian Grand Prix marked Mekies’ inaugural race weekend at the helm, and although challenges arose, victory was not elusive. Max Verstappen’s triumph on Saturday’s sprint race provided a promising start, setting the tone for what lies ahead.
Reflecting on his firsthand experience with the team, Mekies acknowledged the intricacies within Red Bull, emphasizing the high standards and tight-knit dynamics that define the group. Undeterred by the complexities, he remains eager to delve deeper into the inner workings of the team, recognizing the vast opportunities for growth and development.
As the racing world watches with bated breath, Mekies stands poised to lead Red Bull to new heights, his determination unwavering in the face of adversity. The future of Red Bull Racing has arrived, and under Mekies’ guidance, the team is primed for a resurgence like never before.
