Red Bull Leaders to Discuss Motorsport Future with FIA President

Senior Red Bull leaders will meet FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix, discussing the company’s broader FIA motorsport interests, RacingNews365 reports.

The agenda extends beyond Formula 1, linking governance, commercial positioning, and competitive priorities across multiple FIA championships where Red Bull invests and competes.

Key attendees include Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull’s CEO of corporate projects overseeing F1 operations, and Mark Mateschitz, who controls a near 50% stake in Red Bull GmbH.

Their presence underlines central oversight of Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls, and signals intent to coordinate programmes across FIA-sanctioned series beyond Formula 1.

Red Bull previously co-held commercial rights in the World Rally Championship for a decade, and remains active in European Rallycross alongside other FIA-linked categories.

This weekend’s meeting follows a June discussion between Mintzlaff and Ben Sulayem in Paris, and is expected to address ADUO power unit balancing for 2026.

Red Bull Powertrains is understood to hold the strongest internal combustion engine rating in recent FIA evaluations, a result that reportedly surprises the company.

Lewis Hamilton indicated after Monaco that RBPT leads, while Mercedes HPP, Audi, Ferrari, and Honda received development tokens pending final confirmation of ADUO outcomes.

Red Bull representatives have held several technical briefings with the FIA in recent weeks, with further discussions expected after Silverstone to clarify token allocation and methodology.

Even so, the primary objective at Silverstone remains strategic: map Red Bull’s expanding participation and governance relationships across FIA series, ensuring resource alignment and consistent brand performance.

For Formula 1, the conversation informs 2026 planning around RBPT’s integration with the chassis, the split with Racing Bulls, and competitive baselines set by ADUO rules.

The timing, during the British Grand Prix weekend, also concentrates attention on Red Bull’s near-term priorities at Silverstone and its longer-term trajectory into 2026 and beyond.
