Overview

  • Companies House records show that on August 13 Christian Horner ceased to be a director of Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Technology and Red Bull Powertrains.
  • Documents filed on July 8 name Stefan Salzer as Horner’s replacement on UK boards, signaling a handover of his formal corporate duties.
  • Laurent Mekies has led Red Bull’s F1 operations since early July, when he succeeded Horner as chief executive and team principal.
  • Red Bull GmbH has stepped up Austrian oversight over its F1 arm after on-track setbacks and boardroom tensions in Milton Keynes.
  • Pundits suggest Horner may return to Formula 1 in an ownership-linked capacity with teams such as Alpine or Cadillac, but any comeback remains speculative.
