Christian Horner denies ‘hostage exchange’ of Red Bull F1 staff to Ferrari for Laurent Mekies
Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri recently announced they have hired&n𒐪bsp;Mekies from Ferrari as their new team principa🐬l to replace long-stanඣding boss Franz𒁃 Tost, who will stand down at the end of the season.
The announcement annoyed Ferrari, with team boss Fred Vasseur criticising AlphaTauri for being 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“a bit aggressive” in how♕ they confirmed Mekies’ signing before the details of his exit from his Ferrari contract had been ironed out.&nbs꧙p;
Reports have since suggested that Ferra💟ri are looking to poach staff from Red Bull and that their early releases could hold the key to accelerating Mekies’ own switch to AlphaTauri.
However, Red Bull team pri𝔉ncipal Horn𒀰er insisted there are no plans for any “senior or medium-level” personnel to move to Maranello.
“As usual, there’s plenty of speculation,” Horner said at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miami Grand Prix. “Will t✅here be a hostage exchange for Laurent Mekies? Well we don’t have any ✨hostages.
“In terms of personn꧙el moving to Ferrari, certaജinly at a senior or medium level, there’s nothing planned.
“Individuals that have been mentioned in connection with Ferrari came to see me last week and me𓄧ntioned their disbelief in som✅e of these rumours.
“But it’s Formula 1, that will inevitably happen. But thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚere’s no plans for any senior members of our team to be joining Maranello.”
