Red Bull F1 boss Laurent Mekies hits back at Christian Horner's "lost its mojo" claim

Red Bull Racing CEO Laurent Mekies has responded to Christian Horner's recent claim that the team has "lost its mojo" since his departure, insisting the team's spirit remains strong. Horner, who left Red Bull in July 2025 after two decades in charge, has been promoting his memoir Drive, during which he expressed his belief that the team's "vibe" had changed since his exit.

Mekies, in a team principals press conference in Mexico City, defended the team's atmosphere, stating that while they have faced challenges, particularly in the areas of chassis and power unit development, the team's spirit has allowed them to return from a difficult period. He emphasized the importance of team spirit and unity, particularly during tough times, and highlighted the team's remarkable turnaround, which has led to a third-place standing in the constructors' championship.
