P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Red Bull shocked the F1 world earlier this year when it announced it had parted ways with long-time boss Christian Horner.
Liam Lawson, who replaced Sergio Perez at Red Bull this year, stated that he did not observe any tension between Christian Horner and other team members during his time with the squad. Despite having only 11 grand prix starts, the New Zealander struggled in the first two rounds and was subsequently replaced by Yuki Tsunoda. Horner’s departure from Red Bull after 20 years coincided with the team’s performance struggles on the track. Lawson noted that he was focused on his own responsibilities and therefore did not detect any internal conflict within the team. Laurent Mekies took over from Horner, but Lawson said he did not have enough exposure to Horner’s leadership to compare it to Mekies’ approach. Lawson emphasized that he primarily worked with Mekies during his brief stint with Red Bull.
