Zak Brown feels Red Bull ‘drama’ led to Christian Horner’s sacking
- McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown expressed no surprise at Christian Horner's sudden departure from his role at Red Bull Racing.
- Christian Horner was relieved of his duties as team principal and F1 CEO at Red Bull Racing after 20 years, with Laurent Mekies taking over.
- Brown attributed Horner's exit to ongoing “drama” at Red Bull, citing a cost-cap breach and an allegation of 'inappropriate behaviour' against Horner, from which he was cleared.
- During his tenure, Horner led Red Bull to six constructors’ titles and eight drivers’ championships.
- Brown anticipates that Horner will likely return to motor racing in some capacity, given his extensive history in the sport.
