by Red Bull GmbH owner Mark Mateschitz.&#13;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMateschitz&#8217;s father Dietrich Mateschitz was a co-founder of the Red Bull brand, an energy drinks company that has expanded into several other areas since the early 2000s.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nOne of those areas is in Formula 1, where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-teams\/red-bull-racing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull Racing<\/a> team was founded in 2005, with the team having won six constructors&#8217; championships and eight drivers&#8217; championships in that time, with Verstappen claiming four of those.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nRed Bull Hangar-7 in Salzburg has been undergoing significant renovations over the past few years, but is now set to reopen with a &#8216;mega party&#8217;, with celebrity guests and a race set to take place, with Verstappen reported by <a title=\"Kronen Zeitung\" href=\"https:\/\/www.krone.at\/3776380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kronen Zeitung<\/a> to be attending.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nHangar-7 is an events venue, gallery and museum space adjacent to Salzburg Airport which is designed to bring together arts, aviation and the culinary arts, being established by Mateschitz&#8217;s late father, who sadly passed away in 2022.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nDietrich developed it  back in 2003 to provide more space for the &#8216;Flying Bulls&#8217;, a private collection of aircraft and, in later years, F1 machinery.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;mega party&#8217; is set to take place on June 4 to celebrate the reopening of Hangar-7, with the money spent on the refurb said to be a tribute from Mark to his late father.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen set for party<\/p>\n<p>\nBeing a key member of Red Bull Racing&#8217;s history, an appearance for Verstappen is no surprise, particularly with some kind of &#8216;race&#8217; being planned for the event.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, the report did not state whether <b><a title=\"Red Bull team principal Christian Horner would be in attendance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-news\/1049491\/f1-christian-horner-red-bull-team-principal-exit-franz-tost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull team principal Christian Horner would be in attendance<\/a><\/b>, having been with the team since their inception in the sport back in 2005.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nVerstappen <b><a title=\"has recently become a father\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-news\/1049393\/meet-lily-verstappen-piquet-new-baby-f1-royalty-incredible-racing-genes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has recently become a father<\/a><\/b> with partner Kelly Piquet, who will also be attending the event alongside the Dutchman.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nVerstappen&#8217;s future with Red Bull beyond the end of this season has been called into question of late, with the 27-year-old said to be frustrated by Red Bull&#8217;s lack of race-winning pace during the early part of 2025.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>F1 HEADLINES:<\/b> <a title=\"Red Bull decision made on Horner future as Imola race at risk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-news\/1049544\/f1-news-today-horner-f1-future-confirmed-as-too-old-verdict-given-to-team-boss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull decision made on Horner future as Imola race at risk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Verstappen is one of 150 well-esteemed guests to be invited to what&#8217;s being described in Dutch media&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[4199,16204,707,4200,4277,12,4276,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-94163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-f1","9":"tag-f1-news-gossip","10":"tag-formula-1","11":"tag-formula1","12":"tag-gpfans","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sam-cook","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114492365507187633","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
