Nov 6 : Racing Bulls principal Alan Permane has signed a contract extension through to the end of 2031, the Red Bull-owned Formula One team said on Friday.
Racing Bulls are currently heading for the team’s best finish to a season, in fifth place and 39 points clear of sixth-placed Alpine, with four races remaining including Sunday’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil.
• Permane joined as racing director in January 2024 after 34 years at Enstone with the team that is now Renault-owned Alpine. He took the principal position in July 2025 after Laurent Mekies took over from Christian Horner at Red Bull.
• The Italy-based team finished sixth overall last year.
