Christian Horner: Red Bull F1 team principal sacked after 20 years in charge of Milton Keynes outfit

If it has anything to do with sexual assault allegations it's because they're either worse than we thought and they're getting ahead of it, or because they can't spin whatever is gonna come up with it
Or they've already ignored it but the performance of RB has been awful

Maybe Max said "him or me"

I foresee Red Bull getting worse
Watch him show up at Aston with his mate newey

I don't really see it. AM isn't in a good spot and it's very unlikely they'll suddenly become a top team next year. Newey can do his magic but it's not going to fix the rest of the team.
Max isn't going to waste his time in some midfield team, he's going to a top team or he's taking a sabbatical.

First guess is sexual assault allegations have been proofed?
No proof has been found that he was guilty, according to the court records. So unless new proof shows up from somewhere, this most likely isn't the case. It could be that RBR was keeping some proof away from the court case, which could be illegal, but that they now display it.
Personally, I am a bit careful with the accusations, since it wouldn't be the first time that somebody lied to get somebody else convicted for something. Women are always believed in cases like this, even when they lie about them abusing their male partner or whatever.

Well damn, didn't think I'd see the day especially mid season. Guessing this will be initially bad for red bull, but longer term probably the right call.

Supposedly Ferrari kicked the tires on Horner earlier this year. Rumors say they might let Fred go.

Looks like speculation's back on the menu, boys!
Due to...
- more legal challenges incoming?
- worse performance for the past year?
- an attempt to halt the brain drain from Red Bull?
- Max wanted him out, and they're now complying what with Merc courting him so hard?
- Red Bull lost Max to Merc, and Red Bull high ups are unhappy with Horner over it?
- their engines for next season aren't looking good?
- a combination of factors above?
Tbh I don't think it'd be down to performance alone. Red Bull has had down periods multiple times in the past 20 years.

This is a surprising development. The usual path for being pushed out of RB is to be name the 2nd seat driver for the team before being sacked.

I think there are only two possibilities:
- he lost Max
- they did this to keep Max
Either way, this increases the chances that Max is going to Mercedes

Can't really find a source anymore. But wasn't part of the explanation for Newry leaving that he was good friends with Horner's former assistant? Though I guess this could have been unsubstantiated rumours.

Yeah the owners were happy to look past it while they were getting results
Yup, that was the final straw for me, and watching F1 in general. Its already a sport that has literally the worst people in the world involved from human rights and environmental standpoints, and then even the western part of the sport doesn't have any integrity.
What ever happened to honorable men...

Bwahaha, I'd hear the wailing in Italy from here in New Zealand
When all is said and done, Christian will be managing Hamilton while Toto will be managing Verstappen

There's been very few in F1. There has however been a long history of lying, cheating, spying, poaching, backstabbing, money laundering, insider trading, influence peddling, drug running, fake sponsors, fake princes, tobacco money, oil money, dictator money, Russian oligarch money and money that was never there in the first place and left a string of debts.

Or the relationship between Helmut Marko and him have reached the inevitable boiling point. It is either Marko out or Horner. And Max is loyal to Marko not Horner or Red Bull. If they lose Marko they will automatically lose Max as well.

Red Bull gives you wings, right out the door…

Is FIFA a joke to you? Lol

Wow. I wondered if a team principal change was on the cards for the future but a mid season sacking wasn't on my radar. Makes me wonder- is he the first domino to fall in a Red Bull Racing makeover?
I think that was last year when they lost Newey!
