Mekies hails sacked Horner for his support
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium - New Red Bull Formula One team boss Laurent Mekies praised predecessor Christian Horner on Friday and revealed the Briton had been supportive and kept in touch since his sudden sacking two weeks ago. Mekies has been promoted from sister team Racing Bull to become only the second Red Bull principal since the energy drink brand entered the sport in 2005. "Yes, we have spoken," the Frenchman told reporters at the Belgian Grand Prix, his first race at the helm. "He has been nothing other than supportive, even in the extremely difficult context for him. "He was the first one to text, he was the first one to call. I think again this morning or yesterday, we texted each other again." Mekies said nobody would replace Horner as a character and he certainly would not try to do the job in a similar manner to the Briton, who had been in charge at Milton Keynes for more than 20 years. Instead, he said he would seek to "empower" more of his staff and rely on the existing strengths within the team. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Mekies said he had been contacted "out of the blue" by Red Bull's head of corporate projects Oliver Mintzlaff and motorsport consultant Helmut Marko to offer him the job of principal. His immediate response was to ask for time to consider, and then he put the phone down. "First thought obviously goes to, in this moment as well, to Christian," he explained. "Because it's not something that, you know, I could have expected. And he had been nothing else than extremely supportive with me these last two years." Mekies said he had then called back and accepted the challenge. "You just say, of course. You know, if you think you need me there, I will go there." Mekies said providing the team's four-times world champion Max Verstappen with a fast car was a priority, as that would then resolve other issues about his future plans, and morale was holding up. "The focus is very much to, as we said earlier, try to get to know the team as quickly as possible in order to see how we can support, how we can build the next step of competitiveness in order to get a fast car," he said. "And hence, to make it an easy call for Max." REUTERS

Wedding in a park
WHEN PARKROYAL COLLECTION PICKERING – FORMERLY Parkroyal on Pickering – opened in 2013, it set a benchmark for a city hotel in the tropics. Facing Hong Lim Park, the terraced facade of Woha's multiple-award-winning architecture became a new landmark – not just for travellers, but also for Singapore's urban scenery. 'As Singapore's first hotel-in-a-garden with iconic architecture that seamlessly blends urban luxury with nature, Parkroyal Collection Pickering offers a truly distinctive setting for weddings,' says Kung Teong Wah, the hotel's general manager. 'With 15,000 square metres of greenery, sky gardens and tranquil water features, the hotel offers a setting that is romantic and refined.' The building design features plants prominently. Rather than just shrubs in planters, there are swathes of frangipani and palm trees. Other tropical plants drape the 'topographical architecture' of the pre-cast concrete walls that resemble abstract rock formations. At the William Pickering Ballroom, light streams in through floor-to-ceiling glass panels, adding flair as well as verdant views of nature.

The ballroom, which can accommodate up to 250 guests, allows light to stream in through floor-to-ceiling glass panels, adding flair as well as verdant views of nature to the wedding decor. For more intimate events, the Alexander Room seats 120 guests. The Outdoor Terrace, meanwhile, is ideal not only as a spill-out area after the main ceremony, but also as a striking venue for cocktail parties and solemnisations – with a picture-perfect vertical garden and the spectacle of ombre sunsets as the backdrop, should the couple choose this magical time of the day. To make the most out of the special garden setting, the hotel offers three Singapore-centric wedding themes.

The William Pickering Ballroom, for instance, will have a 16-metre-long LED panel that will expand options for engaging presentations. Two LED panels in the Alexander Room and an LED photo wall in the foyer will also enhance seamless programming possibilities as the couple and their guests move from space to space. Couples who wed at Parkroyal Collection Pickering are automatically enrolled in the Pan Pacific Discovery Loyalty Programme.

Busy couples also appreciate the hotel's Celebrations Curators, who become their trusted advisers, especially when navigating the complexity of mixed-race weddings. 'Cultural sensitivity is key,' Kung notes. 'Our team is trained to ask the right questions, from halal requirements to understanding different ceremonies, ensuring a thoughtful and inclusive experience.' Couples who fall in love with the Parkroyal Collection Pickering's bucolic environment will be happy to know they will be welcomed back for an anniversary stay – a perk of the Pan Pacific Discovery Loyalty Programme, for which they are automatically enrolled under the Titanium tier. Just a 'little something extra' for them to enjoy, even long after the wedding day.
