Red Bull caused a stir earlier this month with the announcement that it had parted ways with Christian Horner.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle believes Christian Horner hurt Red Bull by overly focusing on Max Verstappen, leading to Horner’s removal as team principal. Laurent Mekies has taken over the role after Horner’s 20-year tenure. Red Bull has faced challenges on the track and struggled to find success beyond Verstappen. Other drivers like Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson, and Yuki Tsunoda have had difficulties with Red Bull’s cars. Brundle highlighted that the team’s emphasis on Verstappen may have hindered the performance of other talented drivers like Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly. Overall, the decision to prioritize one driver has potentially compromised the team’s success.
