Alan Permane stays as Racing Bulls boss until 2031

BBC Sport, Autosport and Motorsport.com reported Alan Permane will remain Racing Bulls team principal until 2031 as the team weighs its 2027 line-up.

BBC Sport reported that Red Bull has extended Alan Permane’s contract as Racing Bulls team principal until the end of 2031. Autosport and Motorsport.com also reported the new deal, saying Permane will continue in the role through the 2031 season.

The contract news comes while Racing Bulls continues its decision process for the 2027 driver line-up. Formula1.com reported that Permane said “the right decision will be made” and that the team was trying to apply “a little bit of science” before any announcement, while RaceFans reported that he expected the final choice to satisfy everyone.

Permane’s extension keeps continuity in Red Bull’s wider Formula 1 structure. Red Bull entered Formula 1 in 2005 and has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors’ titles.
