Red Bull’s decision to sack Christian Horner has taken the F1 community by surprise, as he was the longest-serving team principal in the sport.
After 20 successful years at the helm of Red Bull, during which the team won multiple drivers’ and constructors’ championships, Horner’s sudden departure in the middle of the 2025 season raised eyebrows.
Allegations of sexual harassment and coercive behavior in early 2024, followed by a leaked cache of messages, put Horner under scrutiny and tarnished his reputation.
A public feud with Jos Verstappen, Max Verstappen’s father, further strained Horner’s position within the team, leading to internal divisions.
