Red Bull defends team spirit against brutal Christian Horner claims

Red Bull hits back at Christian Horner’s ‘lost its mojo’ claim, insisting team spirit is stronger than ever

Laurent Mekies has responded to Christian Horner’s comments that Red Bull has “lost its mojo” since his exit.Horner, who was replaced by Mekies after being sacked in July last year, claimed the team’s spirit and presence have diminished.

He described the atmosphere during his final months as unhappy and noted concerns about the team’s identity.

Mekies respected Horner’s perspective but stated that the current team spirit is strong.

Team dynamics

Mekies cited Red Bull’s late-season performance last year as proof of the team’s resilience.

He highlighted the unity and fighting spirit displayed during challenging moments this year amid new regulations.

Mekies noted the importance of team cohesion, especially under pressure, characterising it as the true Red Bull spirit.

He emphasized that recent wins for Max Verstappen do not signify the end of their challenges.

Mekies clarified that the focus remains on returning to world title contention rather than celebrating individual victories.

He acknowledged the significance of results but insisted that the ultimate goal is sustained success.

The team continues to push for improvement, remaining alert to forthcoming competitions.

Red Bull faces another test in Mexico City as they strive to maintain momentum.

The commitment to excellence remains a driving force for the team and its members.
