Laurent Mekies Extends Red Bull Contract Until 2031
Posted : 15 October 2026
Red Bull Racing has extended team principal Laurent Mekies’ contract until 2031, securing his leadership after he joined the team in July 2025 following Christian Horner’s departure.
The renewal comes as four-time world champion Max Verstappen claims victories in Malaysia and Singapore, while the team has also confirmed its driver contracts, including Verstappen through 2030.
Red Bull currently sits fourth in the constructors’ championship, just seven points behind McLaren in third, as it looks to build on its recent progress.
