New Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies says his top priority is boosting car performance to ensure Max Verstappen stays with the team. Confident Verstappen will reject offers from rivals like Mercedes if given a competitive car, Mekies stressed the focus is on regaining speed and competitiveness. Mekies, formerly with Racing Bulls, said the Red Bull job offer came unexpectedly but felt like an honour. Despite recent internal turmoil and key departures, Mekies found a driven, united team with strong racing spirit and is optimistic about leading them forward.
