Sebastien Buemi compared Meksis and Horner.

      Laurent Mekies unexpectedly replaced Christian Horner as the head of Red Bull Racing. 2016 Formula E champion and former Red Bull junior driver Sébastien Buemi knows both well, and on Friday, participating in the Berlin electric series stage, he commented on the situation, comparing Mekies and Horner.

      Sébastien Buemi: "Loren was the chief race engineer at Toro Rosso when I drove for the team, so I know him quite well. He's a good guy and has been part of the Red Bull family for quite some time.

      He has worked at FIA and Ferrari, then returned to the team as Racing Bulls' head. So he knows perfectly how things work inside Red Bull.

      Mekies is an engineer who understands technical issues very well. Christian is very strong with his political influence, which he used to develop the team.

      I don't know how many people are currently working at Red Bull, but I think it's about one and a half thousand. Laurent knows how to manage such a team because he has experience working at another major team – Ferrari."
