Horner was informed about his dismissal at the London hotel.

      Last week, the racing world was shaken by the news of Christian Horner's dismissal from his position as head of Red Bull Racing. Over time, more and more details emerged in the press about what contributed to this decision.

      German Bild, citing its sources, wrote that Red Bull Group's CEO Oliver Mintzlaff and the company's motorsport consultant Helmut Marko informed Horner of his dismissal on Tuesday after the British Grand Prix at a London hotel.

      The publication also reports that early talks about changing the head of Red Bull Racing began during the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg, at a meeting between Mintzlaff and Red Bull's main shareholders Mark Mateschitz and Chalerm Yuvadi. The final decision was made a few days later during a Zoom call.

      Partly, the deterioration of relations between Christian Horner and Chalerm Yuvadi contributed to his departure, as Yuvadi suggested that Horner focus solely on managing the Formula 1 team. However, Christian did not want to reduce his responsibilities, including giving up management of the marketing and technical departments as well as the engine manufacturing division. Ultimately, the decision was made to part ways with Horner.
