 Team principle Christian Horner insisted things would not change day-to-day for Red Bull with Mateschitz having put in place 'a very strong foundation for the future'. Mintzlaff will start his new role later this month, having previously dismissed links over a sporting director position with Chelsea following their takeover. 'I'm under contract with Leipzig until 2026, I will fulfil my contract here with great pleasure," he stated. 'We still have a lot of plans. Not only on the pitch. I feel comfortable here at Leipzig.'

Red Bull have confirmed their plans to replace their late founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who passed away during the recent weekend of the United States Grand Prix
Ex-football CEO Oliver Mintzlaff will oversee Red Bull’s F1 set-up after a restructure was announced following the death of founder Dietrich Mateschitz.
The Austrian died aged 78 during the weekend of the United States Grand Prix after battling illness with tributes pouring in from across the sport.
Mateschitz had also been CEO of Red Bull, whose F1 team have already claimed the 2022 constructors’ championships. His son Mark has confirmed that role has now been split into three separate positions.
And Mintzlaff, who was linked with a role at Premier League side Chelsea recently, will lead corporate projects and new investments, meaning he will oversee all Red Bull sports.
