My Take
Laurent Mekies appeals to me because he embodies the unglamorous brains behind motorsport's spectacle. A Tours-born engineer who climbed from junior single-seater paddocks through race engineering all the way to team principal, he represents the kind of methodical, technically grounded leadership I find quietly compelling. Drivers get the champagne, but people like Mekies make the thousands of cold calculations that decide a season. I trust leaders who actually understand the machine at a granular level, and his engineering roots suggest he does. I am genuinely curious to watch what kind of culture and car he builds, because his is a long game worth following.
