Christian Horner has been sacked as Red Bull team principal after 20 years in charge.
Horner’s dismissal from the Formula One team comes 17 months after he was accused by a female colleague of “inappropriate behaviour”.
Horner was twice exonerated of the claims by the Milton Keynes-based Formula One team’s parent company, Red Bull GmBH.
On Wednesday a statement from Red Bull GmbH, read: “Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today (Wednesday 9 July 2025) and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.”
