Mintzlaff, meanwhile, regretted the decision: " Helmut approached me with the desire to end his role as motorsport advisor at the end of the year. I deeply regret his decision, as he has been an influential figure for more than two decades, and his departure marks the end of an extraordinary era."
He also highlighted his "courage to make difficult decisions," his keen eye for spotting talent, and his decisive contribution to the brand's sporting expansion. "Although his departure will leave a significant void, our respect for his decision and our gratitude for everything he has done for Red Bull Racing outweigh that," he said.
