Overview

• Companies House filings dated August 13 confirm the termination of Horner’s directorships at Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Technology and Red Bull Powertrains.
• Stefan Salzer was appointed to those same boards on July 8, replacing Horner and joining Helmut Marko as the only listed directors of Red Bull Racing.
• Laurent Mekies, elevated on July 9 from Racing Bulls boss, continues in his roles as team principal and chief executive of the main Red Bull F1 operation.
• The filings effectively conclude Horner’s gardening leave and signal that settlement terms for his departure have been finalized.
• Industry insiders and former F1 figures suggest Horner’s future return to the sport would likely hinge on securing an ownership stake or a comparable leadership position elsewhere.
