Huge Christian Horner mistake claimed by Bernie Ecclestone
Horner oversaw a total of 14 World Championship wins at Red Bull, though the last 12 months of his tenure were more challenging, as the team’s dominant ways faded.
Not helping their cause in the standings has been the lack of contribution from the Red Bull number two driver, Liam Lawson failing to score in his two race weekends, while Yuki Tsunoda has provided a measly seven points.
Horner’s friend, former F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone, believes this contributed to Red Bull’s decision to let Horner go.
