Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports F1 analyst Martin Brundle has discussed Laurent Mekies's approach to leading Red Bull Racing and why Christian Horner "wouldn't want to come back as a team principal".
The Milton Keynes outfit replaced Horner as Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal with Racing Bulls team chief Laurent Mekies on 9 July 2025. Horner later reached a settlement agreement with the Austrian team in September 2025, which is understood to allow the Briton to return to the championship in 2026.
