Laurent Mekies credited the teams led by Pierre Waché and Ben Hodgkinson with putting Red Bull in position to fight for wins, while saying the team still saw work to do after Singapore.
Red Bull principal Laurent Mekies praised the technical groups behind the RB22’s chassis and power unit, saying their work had put the team in a position to fight for wins at different circuits. The departments are led by Pierre Waché (chassis) and Ben Hodgkinson (Red Bull-Ford power unit).
Even after two poles and two victories in Singapore, Mekies said, Red Bull still had things it wanted to do better.
Mekies confirmed Red Bull would make no further substantial upgrades to the RB22 in 2026, with development focused on 2027. He stressed that the team would continue pushing to improve and use every remaining race to learn for both 2026 and 2027.
