The team at Red Bull Racing recently sacked team principal Christian Horner. During the press day at Spa-Francorchamps, there was a lot of talk about Horner. Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda was also asked about the dismissal.
Tsunoda told GPblog and others that he looked back on the collaboration with Horner with a good feeling and revealed that he still has contact with the Briton. "I appreciate how Christian supported me in the past races. I even got a message from him yesterday: ‘Show what you can do." It was a nice message."
Tsunoda meets with Mekies, an old acquaintance
The new team principal of Red Bull, Laurent Mekies, worked with Tsunoda at Racing Bulls in the past. Tsunoda said he is looking forward to the collaboration. "He's just gone into the position in the middle of the season, and he's had two weeks. So I don't think he can change anything yet. We have a good relationship with each other. I can chat and don't really need to adapt to the relationship or create a relationship, which is good. I just came into the paddock with him and had a normal conversation. It feels like we're back at VCARB, but it's not."
Max Verstappen had already commented on Mekies' appointment at Red Bull Racing. The reigning world champion was looking forward to the collaboration and reflected on intense weeks at Red Bull Racing.
