Christian Horner questions Red Bull’s “Maverick” identity under Laurent Mekies
For two decades, Red Bull Racing defined itself as Formula 1’s anti-establishment disruptor. Founded by the late Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz and run with an iron fist on the pitwall by Christian Horner, the Milton Keynes squad prided itself on doing what traditional manufacturers deemed impossible: culminating in the audacious creation of Red Bull Powertrains in 2021.

Christian Horner has dismissed rumours of a potential move to Ferrari, stating that he would only return to the pitwall if offered ownership of the team.
