Red Bull’s Ruthless Shake-Up: Austria Takes Control of F1 Team, Ousting Horner for Good

A dramatic power shift has rocked the foundations of the Red Bull F1 team, with high-stakes maneuvers behind the scenes culminating in the ousting of long-time team principal, Christian Horner. The mastermind behind this bold move? Oliver Mintzlaff, one of the three CEOs handpicked as part of the succession plan devised by the late Red Bull tycoon, Dietrich Mateschitz.

Whispers from the paddock suggest that Horner’s departure has brought a newfound sense of tranquility to the Red Bull camp, particularly for the Verstappen clan, led by Max’s father, Jos Verstappen, and manager, Raymond Vermeulen. Despite earlier speculations linking Max Verstappen to Mercedes, it now appears that the young racing prodigy is set to stay with Red Bull at least until 2026.

The restructuring at Red Bull’s headquarters in Austria signals a more hands-on approach in overseeing the F1 operations based in Milton Keynes. The Austrian leadership is keen on streamlining operations for maximum efficiency, hinting at potential redundancies and a shift towards a leaner organizational structure.

Laurent Mekies, the newly appointed team principal with a strong engineering background, is poised to lead the team into a new era of focused technical leadership. Marko emphasizes the need to delegate responsibilities effectively, with Mekies spearheading the technical aspects while other leaders handle marketing, communications, and specific projects like the RB17 and Powertrains.

As the dust settles on Horner’s departure, Red Bull is navigating uncharted waters with a carefully crafted succession plan to ensure a seamless transition. The spotlight is now on Mekies and the Austrian leadership as they steer the team towards continued success on and off the track. Stay tuned as Red Bull revs up for a new chapter in their F1 journey.
