Red Bull Racing has confirmed the departure of Christian Horner from his role as team principal, concluding a tenure that began in 2005.

The announcement did not specify the reasons for his exit.

Horner's departure follows a period of internal challenges for Red Bull Racing.

In early 2024, he was investigated over allegations of inappropriate behavior toward a female employee.

An independent inquiry cleared him of wrongdoing, and a subsequent appeal by the complainant was dismissed.

Despite these outcomes, the situation led to internal divisions within the team.

The team also faced performance issues during the 2025 Formula One season, securing only one victory in the first five races and falling behind competitors like McLaren.

Key staff changes occurred during this period, including the departure of Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey and Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley.

Driver lineup adjustments were made, with Sergio Pérez being replaced by Liam Lawson, and later by Yuki Tsunoda.

Red Bull Racing has not yet announced a successor for the team principal position.

Reports suggest that former Alpine boss Oliver Oakes and former AlphaTauri chief Franz Tost are being considered for the role.

The team continues to navigate the challenges of the current season while preparing for future developments.
