After being dismissed ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, Christian Horner is officially no longer a director of Red Bull Technology or Red Bull Racing. This is after the Milton Keynes-based team's Termination of Director Appointment with the British Companies House went through.
Laurent Mekies replaced the Briton as the CEO and team principal, and his successor as director is also known. Stefan Salzer will take on this role next at Red Bull Racing.
Horner has also recently posted on social media. See the photos shared by him here!
Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, on the media day, Max Verstappen confirmed he will stay with Red Bull Racing for the 2026 season.
Currently, no driver has a contract for the seat alongside the Dutchman. According to ESPN, the decision has already been made that Liam Lawson will not get another chance at Red Bull, after he was replaced with Yuki Tsunoda two Grands Prix into the '25 campaign.
What seems to be the most obvious decision is that the New Zealander will remain with Racing Bulls, where he will be Arvid Lindblad's teammate in 2026.
George Russell has posted holiday images from the place that seems to be a hotspot for F1 drivers and key figures, Sardinia, together with his partner, Carmen Montero Mundt.
In his caption, the Mercedes driver wrote: "Missing racing, enjoying holidays."
A day ago, Mercedes CEO and team principal Toto Wolff was also pictured with Max Verstappen on the Italian island.
Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli ran into a mishap during his holidays. The Italian's jet ski ran out of fuel.
