Christian Horner has been sacked as Red Bull team principal following the British Grand Prix; Laurent Mekies, who was in charge of Racing Bulls, will replace Horner with immediate effect; watch the Belgian GP live on Sky Sports from July 25-27
You wouldn’t fire a team principal effective immediately without giving a reason IMO. Maybe this is Red Bull operating differently from your regular F1 team and it’s really just because performance and Max. But to me it sounds like something bigger – either related to the allegations or Horner did something that lost him the owners trust.
Or they’ve already ignored it but the performance of RB has been awful
Maybe Max said “him or me”
This was rumoured/hinted at in Austria if I’m not daydreaming? Was it van Haren that’s tweeted it?
