Several “potential downsides” of employing Christian Horner have been pinpointed.
Christian Horner, who had been the team principal for Red Bull for two decades, was suddenly sacked, raising concerns about his potential downsides for any future F1 team that hires him.
Having led Red Bull to numerous championships and Grand Prix victories, Horner’s desire for total control and a power struggle within the team were cited as reasons for his dismissal.
Despite his successes, questions have been raised about whether Horner’s leadership style and desire for control would fit in with other F1 teams like Alpine or Ferrari, where he would have to report to higher authorities.
His removal from Red Bull highlighted the potential challenges that come with Horner’s management approach, as teams may prefer a more collaborative and specialized leadership structure as seen in McLaren with Zak Brown and Andrea Stella.
Given the decline of Red Bull’s performance leading to Horner’s departure, his future in F1 remains uncertain as discussions and speculations continue about potential opportunities for him in the sport.
