“Max’s commitment is OFF THE CHART” - Laurent Mekies exclusive interview

In the latest Inside Track exclusive, Matt Majendie had the chance to sit down with freshly appointed Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies.

Laurent reflected on this week’s announcement that Max Verstappen is firmly staying put with Red Bull for the 2026 season, and provides an insight into working with such a formidable champion. 

He also covers Red Bull’s efforts to get the best out of Yuki Tsunoda and his own leadership style – and we get a taste of Laurent Mekies the F1 fan and family man.
