Red Bull Racing and Christian Horner were like an inseparable since 2005. The start of 2025 season saw some widening cracks in the team when key professionals left. However, there was no hint or idea of what was about to happen next. In a few months, the team went from working on the championship to firing Christian Horner. The news was unprecedented and completely uncalled for.<\/p>
The British Grand Prix and Austrian Grand Prix were not at all fruitful for the team. Yet, people had no idea that Red Bull would end up parting ways with Christian Horner. Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 supremo and longtime friend of Christian Horner, gave his verdict on the matter sometime ago. <\/a>Ecclestone put the blame on Christian Horner’s working habits and his alleged scandal in 2024 as the deciding factor. Even though Bernie seems to have an idea about the situation, he still finds it difficult to accept the decision.<\/p> Having ruled Formula 1 for a long time, the F1 Supremo is not known to mince words. Bernie Ecclestone had a similar reaction to Red Bull Racing’s decision of firing Christian Horner. He took a harsh jibe at the team, comparing their decision to sack Horner as if- “he had committed a murder<\/em>“.<\/a><\/p> Nevertheless, Bernie Ecclestone found it strange to believe that Red Bull Racing would treat their former CEO in such a manner. After all, the entirety of success Red Bull Racing had in Formula 1 came behind the lead of Christian Horner.<\/p> “It must be something very serious, in my opinion. I spoke to him the day before and he didn’t know. Well, he might have known, but he didn’t tell me. It was a normal conversation. We were talking about Max. Nothing to do with this, otherwise he would have told me. All I know is the message the whole world has got, which is, he’s been fired, effective immediately.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>F1 Supremo, Bernie Ecclestone Compares Horner’s Sacking to “Murder”<\/h2>
