Red Bull hand Alan Permane a deal to 2031, backing the veteran to keep steering their second F1 team for years to come.
Red Bull have shut down any talk of change at Racing Bulls. Alan Permane has signed a contract extension that keeps him in charge of the team until the end of 2031.
The long deal is a clear vote of confidence in one of the paddock's most experienced operators. Permane arrived at the helm after a spell of leadership reshuffling within the Red Bull family. He brings decades of trackside and management experience from his years in Formula 1.
Racing Bulls have a distinct role in the Red Bull setup. They race as a competitive midfield outfit, and they also work as a proving ground where young drivers and engineers can show they are ready for bigger jobs. Stability at the top matters in that environment, and a contract running to 2031 gives the squad a long runway to plan.
For Red Bull, the message is continuity. With the sport heading into a new era of regulations, they want a settled leadership structure at both of their teams. Permane's extension shows how much they trust him to build, develop and compete with the second car operation for the long haul.
