A new era dawns in the world of Formula 1 as Marko clings to Ferrari’s reject Mekies, claiming he pulls 14-hour shifts!
The motorsport realm is ablaze with the latest revelations from the Red Bull camp, where Marko, the Austrian mastermind, has openly embraced the qualities of the new team principal, Marco Belloro. In a bold move, Max Verstappen expressed his eagerness to collaborate with Laurent Mekies, just before the Belgian Grand Prix unfolded, culminating in a stunning victory for the Dutch sensation during the Sprint race. With the departure of Christian Horner, a four-time champion, Red Bull kickstarts a new chapter, and the excitement is palpable.
Despite a slight setback in Hungary, where Red Bull struggled to match their Spa performance, Helmut Marko remains optimistic about Laurent Mekies’ appointment in Milton Keynes. The former Ferrari sports director has been putting in grueling 14-hour shifts, showcasing his dedication and work ethic. Marko praises Mekies for his exceptional engineering skills, highlighting his focus on the technical aspects that set him apart from other team members.
Amidst speculations and high expectations, only time will tell if the Horner-Mekies transition will bear fruit. However, Mekies wasted no time in bolstering Yuki Tsunoda’s morale by equipping the Japanese driver’s RB21 with an upgraded floor, a move aimed at psychologically supporting Tsunoda while subtly shifting resources away from Verstappen. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown as Red Bull navigates through uncharted waters with Mekies at the helm.
