DEVELOPING: Christian Horner Sacked from Red Bull, £52m Pay-Off Sparks Shockwaves

BREAKING NEWS: Christian Horner Sacked from Red Bull, £52m Pay-Off Sparks Shockwaves Christian Horner has been formally sacked as team principal of Red Bull after agreeing a severance deal worth 60m euros (£52m). The move comes after his dismissal in July following an 18-month controversy. Horner, who led the team to eight drivers' championship and six constructors' championship titles since their inception in 2005, was given a pay-off equivalent to two years of his £10m annual salary. He had a contract until 2030 but will now leave the team immediately. The sacking follows an internal investigation into allegations of sexual harassment made against Horner in February 2024. He was twice cleared of the claims, firstly by a lawyer and then again after an appeal was dismissed. Red Bull's chief executive officer corporate projects and investments, Oliver Mintzlaff, has thanked Horner for his "exceptional work" but the team is now looking to move forward under new leadership.
