Alan Permane has signed a new contract as Racing Bulls Formula 1 team principal, extending his tenure through the end of the 2031 season. The Faenza-based outfit, known as Racing Bulls (formerly RB), has seen significant progress under his leadership. Permane, a stalwart of Alpine where he worked from 1989 to 2023, joined Racing Bulls ahead of the 2024 campaign as its racing director before being promoted to team principal when Laurent Mekies replaced Christian Horner at Red Bull.
CEO Oliver Mintz praised Permane's contributions, noting his experience, commitment, and competitive mindset. The team has already scored 46 points in 2024, 92 last year, and 108 so far this season, with a strong chance of clinching fifth place in the constructors' championship—their highest finish since being founded as Minardi in 1985. Peter Bayer serves as Co-CEO Commercial, and Arvid Lindblad is also involved with the team.
