Red Bull’s recent corporate activity in Austria gives a revealing insight into the potential cause behind the timing of Christian Horner’s dismissal from the F1 team.
Red Bull’s recent corporate filings in Austria suggest a possible reason behind Christian Horner’s sudden departure from the Formula 1 team. Despite leading the team to multiple championships, Horner was let go amid declining team performance and reported conflicts. The change in Red Bull GmbH’s shareholding structure signaled the end of the Yoovidhya family’s majority stake, which had previously supported Horner. With the family’s influence weakened, the board likely had the freedom to make the decision to part ways with Horner. Horner’s emotional farewell and statement on social media indicated his surprise and gratitude for his two-decade-long journey with the team. His departure marks the end of an era at Red Bull Racing and raises questions about the team’s future leadership under the direction of Oliver Mintzlaff.
