F1 Beyond The Grid: Laurent Mekies 2026 Interview
On this episode of the F1 Beyond The Grid podcast, Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies tells Tom Clarkson why the team refused to abandon their 2025 car despite a difficult first half of that season.
The decision paid off spectacularly, with Max Verstappen clawing back from over 100 points down to miss the title by just two points.
Laurent also addresses whether Red Bull are now paying the price for that turnaround after a tough start to the new 2026 regulations. He shares insight into Verstappen outside the car, Isack Hadjar's progress, and why Red Bull's first in-house power unit project is a "crazy challenge" only they would take on.
