Red Bull Sacks Horner, Mekies Named New Principal
Christian Horner has been dismissed as Red Bull Racing's team principal after 20 years, during which the team secured six Constructors' and eight Drivers' Championships, including all four of Max Verstappen's titles. Verstappen, presently third in the 2025 drivers’ standings amid Red Bull’s performance decline and internal tensions, shared an emotional tribute to Horner. While Red Bull has not officially explained Horner’s removal, speculation cites recent team struggles, staff departures, and controversy from past misconduct allegations. Laurent Mekies, formerly of the Racing Bulls, will take over as team principal. The leadership change comes as Verstappen's own future with Red Bull is under question, with rumors suggesting he could move to Mercedes if the team’s situation does not improve. Horner's departure marks a significant shift for Red Bull during a turbulent season.
