梅基斯续约成为红牛车队经理至2031年
梅基斯与红牛车队续约，将至少带领车队六个赛季，接替克里斯蒂安·霍纳的职位。
劳伦特·梅基斯延长与红牛车队经理的合同

劳伦特·梅基斯与红牛一级方程式车队签订了新的合同，将他的合同延长至2031年底，担任车队负责人。
那将使这位法国人在2025年7月加入后至少在奥地利车队担任六季的领导，以结束克里斯蒂安·霍纳作为红牛车队老板的20年任期。
梅克斯从姐妹车队小红牛（小红牛）加入，这位49岁的教练在2024赛季开始时接管了车队，此前他在法拉利工作了六年，先是担任体育总监，然后是赛车总监。
“我非常自豪能够继续与Oracle 红牛 Racing一起踏上这段旅程，”梅克斯说。
“我想感谢查伦[Yoovidhya，股东]、马克[马特希茨，股东]、奥利弗[明茨拉夫，首席执行官]，整个团队以及所有参与项目的人，感谢他们对项目的信任。”
“这个团队特别的地方在于每个人都为了同一个目标团结在一起，每天能与这样一群有才华且投入的团队一起工作，我感到非常荣幸。”

“与皮埃尔·瓦切和本·霍金森的团队共同努力，在塑造我们未来的过程中扮演核心角色，我们为未来的几年奠定了坚实的基础。”
“我们真心相信这仅仅是一个开始。展望未来，我们将继续秉持定义我们的原则：思维自由，行动迅速，决策大胆。”
这条新闻对红牛来说是个好时机，因为它通过安装连续的汽车升级来应对2026年规则的缓慢开始，这导致了晚期的复苏。
世界冠军维斯塔潘在最近的两场大奖赛——马来西亚和新加坡——中从杆位发车获胜，红牛现在只比第三名的麦凯轮少七分，还有六轮比赛。
维斯塔潘最近通过在8月份签署一份延长至2030年底的新合同，将自己的未来与红牛绑定，这延长了他原定于2028年到期的一份合同。
这结束了关于他未来的任何猜测，2027年，这位荷兰人将搭档上个月确认的令人印象深刻的二年级生伊萨克·哈德贾。
“劳伦特自从回归红牛家族以来，展现了卓越的领导力，”明茨拉夫说。
“他结合了技术专长、战略思维以及对使我们的团队成功因素的深刻理解。"
“同样重要的是，他体现了定义红牛方式的价值和心态：勇气、团队合作、决心以及不断追求在最高水平竞争的渴望。"
“领导力的连续性是持续成功的关键因素，我们很高兴劳伦特将继续带领团队走过我们旅程的下一章节。”"

Laurent Mekies extends contract as Red Bull's F1 team boss
The Frenchman is now under contract until the end of 2031 after joining last year
Laurent Mekies, Red Bull Racing Team Principal
Laurent Mekies has extended his contract as team principal of the Red Bull Formula 1 outfit with a new deal that takes him through until the end of 2031.
That will see the Frenchman spend at least six seasons leading the Austrian outfit after joining in July 2025 to end Christian Horner’s 20-year tenure as Red Bull team boss.
Mekies joined from sister squad Racing Bulls, who the 49-year-old took over at the start of the 2024 campaign following six years at Ferrari - first as sporting director and then racing director.
“I am incredibly proud to continue this journey with Oracle Red Bull Racing,” said Mekies.
“I would like to thank Chalerm [Yoovidhya, shareholder], Mark [Mateschitz, shareholder], and Oliver [Mintzlaff, CEO], the entire team and everyone involved for the trust they have placed in the project.
“What makes this team special is the way everyone comes together in pursuit of the same goal, and I feel privileged to work alongside such a talented and committed group every day.

“Together, with Pierre Wache’s and Ben Hodgkinson’s teams playing a central role in shaping our future, we have a strong platform for the years ahead.
“We genuinely believe this is only the beginning. As we look ahead, we will continue to embrace the principles that define us: being free in our thinking, fast in our actions and bold in our decisions.”
This news comes at a good time for Red Bull as it has responded to its slow start to the 2026 regulation change by fitting continuous car upgrades, leading to a late resurgence.
World champion Max Verstappen has won the last two grands prix - Malaysia and Singapore - from pole, with Red Bull now only seven points off third-placed McLaren with six rounds left.
Verstappen also recently tied his future to Red Bull in August by signing a new deal through to the end of 2030, extending on his original deal that was set to expire in 2028.
That put an end to any mounting speculation over his future and in 2027 the Dutchman will partner impressive sophomore Isack Hadjar, who was confirmed last month.
“Laurent has demonstrated outstanding leadership since returning to the Red Bull family,” said Mintzlaff.
“He combines technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of what makes our team successful.
“Just as importantly, he embodies the values and mentality that define the Red Bull way: courage, teamwork, determination, and an unrelenting desire to compete at the highest level.
“Continuity in leadership is a key ingredient for sustained success, and we are delighted that Laurent will continue to lead the team through the next chapter of our journey.”
