BBC Sport reported that Red Bull have extended team principal Laurent Mekies' contract through the end of 2031. The supplied source does not include an official team confirmation, so the development remains reported rather than confirmed.

The same report said Mekies is Red Bull's team principal and that he took over after Christian Horner. If completed as reported, the deal would keep him in place for the long term at an Austrian constructor that entered Formula 1 in 2005 and has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors' titles.
