Overview

• Red Bull Racing has fallen 141 points behind McLaren in the 2025 Constructors' Championship, with only one win this season, intensifying scrutiny on leadership.
• Speculation from Austrian media suggests Christian Horner could be removed as team principal after the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, though sources close to Red Bull deny this.
• Internal divisions within Red Bull's ownership are reportedly influencing Horner's future, with the Austrian faction led by Mark Mateschitz favoring his removal and the Thai faction supporting him.
• Potential successors, including former Alpine boss Oliver Oakes and ex-Alpha Tauri chief Franz Tost, have been named in reports but no decisions have been confirmed.
• Horner's leadership is also shadowed by unresolved allegations of coercive behavior from 2024, which he has consistently denied.
