Christian Horner denies ‘hostage exchange’ of Red Bull staff to Ferrari for Laurent MekiesChristian Horner has denied Red Bull will engage in a “hostage exchange” of any of their staff to Ferrari in order to get Laurent Mekies on board.

As with most high-level executives within an F1 team, Mekies would have to serve a notice period before leaving to join a rival team and it seems both parties have yet to come to an agreement. Head of aerodynamics Enrico Balbo and technical director Pierre Waché were both rumoured to be on Ferrari’s shortlist and there was talk that those in Maranello were proposing to allow Mekies to leave earlier to AlphaTauri, Red Bull’s sister team, in order to speed up some of their own recruitments.
