Brundle: Hornaday wasn't told the reason for his dismissal.
The dismissal of team leader Christian Horner came as a surprise to everyone, including Christian himself, who dedicated twenty years to the team. Former driver and Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle stated this on air...
Martin Brundle: "I asked Christian, 'Can we talk before I have to go on television?' because I wanted to learn more about what happened from his perspective.
He told me he was not informed of the reason for his dismissal, and that is the only reliable information I have.
Honestly, I am very sad. I consider Christian a friend, and over these twenty years, he has done incredible work, winning a huge number of races and championships.
This team has gone through a tough journey from Stewart through problematic Jaguar to the massive campus in Milton Keynes, incredible success, and a huge hall of trophies. But it wasn’t hard to see and hear in the paddock that things weren’t exactly rosy."
