Helmut Marco: We will give Meksis some time.

      After firing Christian Horner, the owners of Red Bull invited Laurent Mekies, but want him to focus on racing, not politics. In an interview with Kleine Zeitung, Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko confirmed – Mekies will be given time.

      Helmut Marko: “This year, Laurent already has no chance to change anything. We will continue racing according to the existing plan. But we are not giving up. There are twelve races left until the end of the season, in which 332 points will be contested along with the sprints. In the best case, we can win these races. As long as there is at least a mathematical chance, we will not surrender.

      We will give Mekies time. He has already adjusted a few details in the simulator preparation process. He is more focused on racing and is less involved in other aspects. It is extremely important that his duties as team principal are reduced compared to Horner’s responsibilities.”
