Red Bull officially confirmed the departure of Christian Horner on July 9, 2025, and it came as a huge shock for the entire Formula One community. The reason behind it is that Red Bull did not explain their decision to sack Christian Horner, who has been part of the team for the last 20 years. It is a huge shock for the sporting community because Horner was the longest-serving Team Principal in the history of Formula One. As a result, seeing the Team Principal go out without receiving any reason from the board is truly shocking.
