The Miami Grand Prix is only the second Grand Prix at which Oliver Mintzlaff (48), Managing Director of Sports at the Red Bull Group, will be there this season. For weeks, the Brause racing team has dominated not only on the track, but above all in the headlines in the media.
The focus is particularly on RB’s personnel policy. After the future of team boss Christian Horner (50) was in focus for a long time after his sex scandal with an employee, there is currently speculation about a possible departure of world champion Max Verstappen (26).
Ask: Mr. Mintzlaff, Max Verstappen has been linked with a move for weeks. Mercedes in particular is courting him fiercely. Are you afraid of losing your superstar?
Oliver Mintzlaff: No. He is a thoroughbred racer and wants to win every race, every qualifying and every training session. This connects us. It’s in his and our DNA. And he finds the perfect conditions for this with us. We have created a unique setup, built the best car in Formula 1.
