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.
