Christian Horner was removed from his role as Red Bull team principal just days after the British Grand Prix.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle has pointed out a “mistake” made by Red Bull before Christian Horner’s surprising departure. Horner’s removal from the team principal position came shortly after the British Grand Prix, ending his 20-year leadership of the team. Red Bull has been struggling recently in comparison to their successful years between 2021 and 2024, relying heavily on Max Verstappen to secure points due to difficulties with drivers in the second seat. According to Brundle, Red Bull allowed the team to become overly focused on one driver, leading to challenging situations with driver decisions. He emphasized that the team’s structure seemed to prioritize individual control rather than a cohesive strategy across all aspects.
