红牛公开宣布将洛朗·梅基斯的F1车队领队合同延长至2031年，以示对其领导力的强力支持。
尽管F1车队领队签订有具体期限的合同而非滚动雇员协议、且此类合同的延长公开宣布已越来越普遍，但红牛对梅基斯的强烈信任仍显得突出，这显然是公司高层希望全世界听到的信息。
去年夏天克里斯蒂安·霍纳被红牛解职后，他迅速从小红牛调任至红牛。
红牛宣布梅基斯新合同的新闻稿特别指出：“在洛朗的领导下，车队在2025赛季下半年实现了显著反弹，最终仅以两分之差无缘车手总冠军”。
梅基斯新合同的宣布，是在马克斯·维斯塔潘决定长期效力红牛、车队延长伊萨克·哈贾尔的合同，以及维斯塔潘在马来西亚和新加坡连续获胜之后。
这也恰逢梅基斯的前任霍纳因新书发布和一系列相关采访重新回到公众视野，他在红牛的时光以及离开红牛都是主要话题。
红牛股东查勒姆·尤维迪亚和马克·马特希茨的联合评论写道：“洛朗在引导车队度过重要过渡期方面发挥了关键作用，同时保持了竞争精神和定义我们的红牛原则。”
“这次续约反映了我们对他领导力的信心，以及我们对车队长期愿景的共同信念。”
英文原文
Red Bull has given a very strong endorsement of Laurent Mekies' leadership by publicly announcing the extension of his contract as its Formula 1 team principal through 2031.
Though it is increasingly common for F1 team principals both to be on specific-term contracts rather than rolling employee deals, and for extensions of those deals to be announced in public, Red Bull's strong display of faith in Mekies still stands out as a message the company hierarchy clearly wanted the world to hear.
He was swiftly moved across from junior team Racing Bulls when Christian Horner was ousted from Red Bull last summer.
The Red Bull press release announcing Mekies’ new deal specifically highlighted that "under Laurent’s leadership, the team delivered a remarkable turnaround during the second half of the 2025 season, ultimately missing out on the drivers’ championship by just two points".
The announcement of Mekies’ new deal comes after Max Verstappen’s decision to commit to Red Bull for the long term, the team extending Isack Hadjar’s deal, and Verstappen taking back to back wins in Malaysia and Singapore.
It also coincides with Mekies’ predecessor Horner being back in the public eye around the launch of his new book and an associated run of interviews in which his time at - and exit from - Red Bull are a major topic.
A joint comment from Red Bull shareholders Chalerm Yoovidhya and Mark Mateschitz read: "Laurent has played a crucial role in guiding the team through an important period of transition while maintaining the competitive spirit and the Red Bull principles that define us.
"This extension reflects our confidence in his leadership and our shared belief in the long-term vision of the team."
