Martin Brundle reveals what Christian Horner said to him after Red Bull sacking
Martin Brundle has shared what Christian Horner's initial reaction was after being fired as Red Bull’s Formula One team principal on Wednesday, 9 July.
The 51-year-old has led the team since its inception in 2005. Both Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen claimed four drivers’ championships under his guidance.
Horner’s firing came one year after a personal scandal involving alleged “inappropriate behaviour” with a female colleague, an accusation Horner was cleared of twice.
Brundle, who has referred to Horner as a friend, told Sky Sports: "I am due to speak to Christian later today, I put a message through to him," before sharing Horner's reaction.
