Christian Horner Sacked By Red Bull After 20 Years As Team Boss

After around two decades at the helm as CEO and Team Principal, Red Bull Racing have sacked Christian Horner.

In a swift leadership reshuffle, Laurent Mekies, who currently leads Red Bull’s sister team Racing Bulls, will step into Horner’s shoes as CEO. Meanwhile, Alan Permane is set to take over as Team Principal at Racing Bulls, following his recent role as Racing Director.

Horner had led Red Bull Racing since its inception in 2005, overseeing the team’s transformation to one of the sport’s most dominant forces. Under his leadership, Red Bull clinched six Constructors’ Championships and eight Drivers’ titles — four courtesy of Sebastian Vettel in the early 2010s, and four more with Max Verstappen.
