It was one of the biggest decisions in Red Bull’s F1 history, and it will come at a fairly hefty cost.
Red Bull stirred up the F1 world by announcing Christian Horner’s departure after 20 years of service. Despite the dismissal, he remains employed by the company, with discussions ongoing regarding the terms of his exit. Horner, one of the highest earners at Red Bull, reportedly had a contract extending until 2030, potentially earning £40 million if honored. Having overseen significant success with Max Verstappen, Horner’s experience and track record make him a valuable asset in negotiations. His legacy as a successful team boss with numerous F1 titles and wins will likely attract interest from other teams if he decides to return to the grid following his gardening leave.
