According to reports, Christian Horner allegedly stated that the automotive division of Red Bull has achieved financial independence for the first time in its history.
Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing, has faced challenges in recent months. After accusations of inappropriate behavior by an employee, the 50-year-old man was found innocent. However, a leak of alleged evidence caused further controversy. Now, there are reports about Horner’s situation within Red Bull GmbH.
It is believed that the Austrian branch of Red Bull, owned by the late Dietrich Mateschitz’s son, has turned against Christian Horner. They are allegedly seeking to remove him from his position in light of recent revelations. However, the support of majority shareholder Chalerm Yoovidhya from Thailand has allowed Horner to continue in his role.
Christian Horner has been the team principal of Red Bull Racing since 2005. However, after the death of Dietrich Mateschitz, Horner reportedly lost control over the Milton Keynes division. In an attempt to regain control, he proposed separating the automotive division of Red Bull from the rest of the company, which includes Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Powertrains, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, and VisaCashAppRB.
Horner reportedly emphasized that the entire automotive division of Red Bull has achieved financial independence without relying on support from the parent company. He stated that Milton Keynes has become self-sufficient and no longer needs assistance from Austria, marking a significant milestone in its history.
These circumstances are believed to be the cause of tensions between Horner and the Austrian headquarters of Red Bull. However, unless further action is taken against him, the 50-year-old man is expected to continue as team principal in the coming weeks.
La valeur des équipes de Formule 1 a considérablement augmenté ces dernières années, en en faisant des investissements attrayants. Le patron de l’équipe Mercedes, Toto Wolff, détient une participation de 33% dans l’équipe basée à Brackley. De plus, un groupe d’investisseurs, comprenant une figure hollywoodienne et une star de la NFL, a acquis une participation de 24% dans Alpine.
Depuis qu’il a repris Jaguar, Christian Horner dirige Red Bull Racing depuis sa création en 2005. Il a joué un rôle crucial dans la transformation de Milton Keynes en une équipe championne au fil des ans. Apparemment, Horner a tenté d’acheter l’équipe de F1 de Chalerm Yoovidhya sans en informer les propriétaires autrichiens de Red Bull GmbH, mais ses efforts ont été infructueux.
Indiscutablement, Christian Horner se trouve dans une situation publique difficile. Ses relations avec la direction autrichienne de la société mère sont également tendues. Cependant, pour l’instant, Horner restera à son poste de patron d’équipe. Les fans seront impatients de voir comment la situation évolue à Milton Keynes dans les semaines à venir.
