Red Bull's Mekies on new 2031 deal - reports
BBC Sport and Autosport reported Laurent Mekies has agreed a Red Bull extension to 2031, months after taking over as the team's principal.
BBC Sport and Autosport reported that Laurent Mekies has agreed a contract extension to remain Red Bull team principal until the end of 2031. With no official confirmation in the supplied information, the new deal remains a reported development.
The reports said Mekies took over from Christian Horner and that the extension would keep him in charge for the long term. Autosport reported the Frenchman joined in July 2025, which would put him on course to spend at least six seasons leading the Formula 1 team if the deal is confirmed.
Red Bull has raced in Formula 1 since 2005. The Austrian constructor has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors' titles, giving Mekies a team with a substantial record as he settles into the role.
