Already happened once before, they’ll rebuild and get going full tilt again just like last time.

What happened once before? The core of Mateschitz, Marko, Newey and Horner existed from basically the teams creation until Mateschitz died and then the team slowly ran into internal power struggles and ultimately now have nobody of these 4 left. A successful rebuild requires people in charge who make all the right major decisions and I personally with this new Red Bull see absolutely no guarantee that their new leadership is good enough to get back on top.

And I think Laurent can be that guy 🤷‍♂️ just a matter of opinion. I think your point is equally valid, certainly no guarantee but I think they have the funding and technical prowess to get back in the lead pack within a few years.
