The decision to dismiss Horner was made the day before.
Some details about Christian Horner's dismissal from Red Bull Racing have become known to the British channel Sky Sports. It turned out that the decision was made the day before, and it was communicated to Horner and the team's key partners at that time.
"Everyone at the Milton Keynes base is in shock," Sky Sports correspondent Craig Slater said in the news broadcast. "The decision was made yesterday by the Red Bull board of directors – two shareholders. Christian Horner was informed of it yesterday, and key partners and sponsors in the evening.
This morning, Horner arrived at the base and addressed the team staff at 10:00 am British time. Around 11:25 am, he left the base.
Employees are not commenting. The Red Bull office in Salzburg is handling this matter. As far as I know, two other senior executives closely linked to Horner have also left Red Bull."
