Has Red Bull chosen the correct Christian Horner replacement?: 

— Red Bull is entering a new era as Laurent Mekies steps in to replace Christian Horner, who departed after the British Grand Prix. Mekies, previously Racing Bulls' team boss, now leads the main Red Bull team, marking a significant shift in leadership. 

— Mekies' promotion aligns with a growing F1 trend of appointing team principals with engineering expertise. This approach has been successful for other teams, such as McLaren with Andrea Stella, and Red Bull hopes to replicate this success. 

— Over the past XX months, Mekies has led Racing Bulls to consistent point finishes and Q3 appearances, showcasing his capability to manage a top-tier team. His experience at Ferrari further equips him for the challenges at Red Bull. 

— The decision to appoint Mekies reflects Red Bull's strategy to innovate and adapt within the competitive F1 landscape. His engineering background is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team’s operations and performance.
