    New Racing Bulls boss Permane ‘shocked and proud’ as he takes up challenge

    Alan Permane Takes the Reins at Racing Bulls After Shock Restructuring

    The recent upheaval at Red Bull Racing, following the unexpected departure of Christian Horner after 20 years at the helm, has sent ripples throughout the team’s sister operations. Alan Permane, veteran racing director of Racing Bulls, has been appointed as the new team principal, tasked with leading a workforce of over 700 staff across facilities in Milton Keynes and Faenza.

    Shock and Pride for Permane

    In his first comments since assuming the role, Permane expressed that his emotions were a blend of surprise and pride. “It’s amazing that they feel I’m capable and have the potential to lead this team,” he stated. The 58-year-old, who joined Racing Bulls in January 2024, acknowledged the strong foundation laid by former team principal Laurent Mekies and CEO Peter Bayer, and he is eager to continue the team’s upward trajectory.

    Establishing Continuity

    Permane’s focus will be on maintaining the momentum that has positioned Racing Bulls as a formidable midfield contender in F1. “Our plan of action is to keep things as they are,” he explained. “The team has been competitive, and my goal is to continue along this path.” The Belgian Grand Prix, set for this weekend, will be Permane’s first challenge as team principal, and he is confident that the existing structure will facilitate a smooth transition.

    The Challenge Ahead

    While Permane’s experience as a sporting director equips him well for the new role, he acknowledges the challenges of overseeing a significantly larger operation. “It’s a much bigger role,” he noted, recognizing the complexity of managing two factories compared to his previous responsibilities. However, he remains optimistic, stating, “I’m very ready to take it on and confident I’ll do a good job.”

    A Strategic Approach to Leadership

    To fill the void left by Permane’s promotion, chief race engineer Mattia Spini will take on additional responsibilities. “We won’t fill it immediately; Mattia is keen and capable of stepping up,” said Permane. By ensuring continuity in leadership and operations, he aims to keep the team on its successful path.

    Support from the Paddock

    The racing community has rallied around Permane, with notable figures like Sauber chief Jonathan Wheatley sharing celebratory moments from their past successes. Reflecting on his long-standing friendship with Wheatley, Permane expressed excitement for the new dynamic as they step into their roles as team principals for rival teams.

    Looking Forward

    Despite not initially aspiring to be a team boss, Permane is fully committed to this new chapter in his career. “It’s going to be a great challenge for me, and I’m really looking forward to it,” he concluded, underscoring his readiness to embrace the responsibilities that come with leading Racing Bulls into the future.

    Conclusion

    Alan Permane’s appointment as team principal marks a significant moment for Racing Bulls as they aim for the top of the midfield. With a wealth of experience, a commitment to continuity, and a supportive paddock behind him, Permane is poised to navigate the challenges ahead and steer the team towards greater success in Formula 1.
