Dang - that truly sucks. Gasly has driven well the last couple of races. Hopefully, the team can get his car back in competitive shape.

Christian Horner out at Red Bull. Wonder what this means for Verstappen staying or leaving?

I mean WOW.... RB just flat out dropped the sledge hammer on Horner.

Mekies moving over from Racing Bulls to take Horner's place as CEO.

Jos and Marko might have dangled Max to Merc to get Horner outed...wouldn't surprise me with that pair.

The other option - Max to Merc is already a done deal and that was Horner's last ace walking out the door and he had nothing left to defend against the firing.

All I know is the the Drive to Survive crew is fixing to have a field day with the last couple of days (Nico getting his 1st podium and now Horner being shown the door).....

This one would be my guess.

Read in another forum that it's not just Horner. Chief Marketing Officer and Group Director of Communication have also left.

Yes, they will probably try to as much as possible erase any connection to Horner.

The four architects to Max's dominate cars (22-24) are now gone.

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if they're prepping part or all of Red Bull F1 to be sold. Only reason I say it is the ownership is split up. The Thai group owns more than 50% I think. Then there is a European group that owns the rest. Last year when the rumors of internal problems between the team started after Dietrich Mateschitz died supposedly it was the Thai owner that staunchly backed Horner and the European group was on the opposite side.
