Jeremy Clarkson messaged Christian Horner in the wake of his sudden exit from Red Bull.
TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson reached out to Christian Horner with a message of support after Horner’s dismissal from Red Bull earlier this week, drawing parallels to Clarkson’s own career setback.
Horner, who had been with Red Bull since 2005, was relieved of his duties as team principal and CEO, ending his long tenure with the Formula 1 outfit.
Clarkson, who faced a similar situation a decade ago when he left BBC’s Top Gear, encouraged Horner not to see this as the end, as he did after launching The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime with great success.
Clarkson revealed in his column for The Sun that he had recently spent time with Horner at the British Grand Prix, where they discussed personal matters, including Horner’s daughter coping with the loss of her mother to cancer.
Amid speculation about Horner’s next move in F1, Clarkson mentioned rumors linking him to Alpine and expressed doubts about a potential partnership with Mercedes engines and boss Toto Wolff, citing their rocky relationship.
