New Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal Laurent Mekies has highlighted how Formula One's governing body, the FIA, delayed the Belgian Grand Prix race start to avoid a wet race. While he acknowledged that the delay was for safety reasons, the decision left Red Bull at a disadvantage, as its car was set up for a wet race.

In an interview with WWD, chief executive officer Sibylle Scherer detailed how the Champagne maker is capitalizing on parent company LVMH's Formula 1 partnership.
