Red Bull boss Christian Horner has revealed he never considered quitting his role, despite the turbulent moments that occurred during the 2024 F1 season.
Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive Drivers’ Championship title with two races to spare, while Red Bull’s downturn during the mid-season cost them the Constructors’ title. Apart from their declining competitiveness, the team had to face other challenges last season, including concerns about Christian Horner’s position due to allegations of misconduct. Despite an internal investigation clearing Horner, Max Verstappen’s father suggested that he step down to prevent potential division within the team. Even with the departures of key personnel like Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley, Horner believes Red Bull’s depth and focus on performance were crucial in securing victories. Looking ahead, Horner is enthusiastic about Red Bull’s upcoming venture with Ford to develop their own power unit for the 2026 regulations, acknowledging the significant challenge but expressing confidence in the team’s capabilities and determination to succeed.
