Red Bull confirmed that Laurent Mekies is moving into the Team Principal role Wednesday marked the dawn of a new era at Red Bull.

Red Bull’s Formula 1 team is changing team directors for the first time since it was founded 20 years ago, after Christian Horner's sacking sent shockwaves through the sport on Wednesday.

Horner led the team to six constructors’ titles and eight drivers’ championships, four apiece for Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.
