Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies reveals the team's strategy to stay dominant in the new era by continuously updating the RB21 ahead of F1's 2026 rule changes.
During the Mexican Grand Prix weekend, Red Bull Racing unveiled several updates to the RB21, despite the upcoming major rule overhaul in 2026.
"We didn’t want to stop developing just because the season is almost over,"
Mekies explained that the decision is intentional, with a focus on long-term competitiveness. While other teams like McLaren and Ferrari have shifted resources to next year's car, Red Bull continues to refine its current package.
