Christian Horner has been removed from his role as team principal of Red Bull Racing, ending a leadership run that began in 2005. During his nearly two decades at the helm, Horner oversaw Red Bull’s transformation into a Formula 1 powerhouse, leading the team to multiple Constructors’ Championships and guiding drivers like Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen to individual world titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision to part ways with Horner comes amid rising internal pressure, including recent staff changes and reported tensions behind the scenes. Although Horner was cleared earlier this year of misconduct allegations following an internal investigation, his position had reportedly grown more unstable. With the team now facing increased competition and a drop in this season\u2019s standings, Red Bull\u2019s leadership opted for a change in direction. The team has yet to announce a permanent successor, but the move has sparked speculation about the future of top driver Max Verstappen, who remains under contract through 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
