The reputation of Red Bull has suffered a lot due to the recent antics within the team. Christian Horner, the main figure responsible for the Red Bull team, has faced numerous controversies throughout the ongoing 2024 Formula 1 season. Speculations even circulated that Horner could be fired from the team before the Australian GP.
During the Saudi Arabia GP weekend, Christian Horner was bombarded with questions about the chaos within Red Bull. Despite the negative discourse, a Red Bull representative spoke out to address the rumors about Horner’s departure.
Reports that the 50-year-old man was fired are false, as confirmed by F1 journalist Eric Van Haren from De Telegraff. A Red Bull spokesperson denied the allegations, stating: “As Christian said, he is grateful for the full support of the shareholders and that remains the case.”
Despite the recent negativity surrounding Christian Horner and Red Bull, it seems that Horner will remain in his position. Many believe that the only way for the Austrian team to overcome the negative publicity is to dismiss their British top figure.
Although Christian Horner has faced frequent scrutiny since last month’s allegations of misconduct, his team’s success has provided some relief. Red Bull drivers secured a 1-2 finish in the first two races of the 2024 Formula 1 season, thanks to the exceptional performance of the RB20.
With the Australian GP still a few weeks away, it is expected that the Milton Keynes-based team will continue to dominate. However, the negative attention surrounding Christian Horner remains a significant blot on Red Bull’s current situation. He has been at the center of almost everything happening within the team, and more developments are expected in the coming days or weeks.
