Racing Bulls principal Alan Permane has ⁠signed a contract extension through to the end ‌of 2031, the Red Bull-owned Formula ‌1 team said ‌on Friday.

Racing Bulls are currently ‌heading for the team's best ‌finish to a season, in fifth place and ‌39 points clear of ⁠sixth-placed ‌Alpine, with four races remaining including ​Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil.

​Permane joined as racing director in January 2024 ⁠after 34 ​years at Enstone with the team that is now Renault-owned Alpine. He took the ‌principal position in July 2025 after Laurent Mekies took over from Christian Horner at Red Bull.

The Italy-based team finished sixth overall last year.

Red Bull last month extended Mekies' contract ‌to the end of ​2031.

Racing Bulls have ‌yet to confirm their 2027 driver lineup. British rookie Arvid Lindblad and New Zealander Liam Lawson are ⁠the ⁠current pairing.
