Documents filed with the UK\u2019s Companies House confirm the 51-year-old has been removed as a director of both Red Bull Racing and its parent entity, Red Bull Technology Limited.<\/p>\n
His place has been taken by Stefan Salzer, Red Bull GmbH\u2019s global head of human resources, signalling an increased influence from the company\u2019s Austrian base.<\/p>\n
Red Bull\u00a0fired Horner<\/a>\u00a0as team principal<\/a> in the days following this year\u2019s British Grand Prix. A leaked video of his farewell speech to staff showed him saying he remained a Red Bull employee without an operational role.<\/p>\n That status had been significant for the team\u2019s budget cap reporting, as F1\u2019s financial rules exclude the three highest-paid employees from the capped expenditure \u2014 meaning Horner\u2019s continued employment would have impacted the 2025 reporting structure.<\/p>\n The change formally ends Horner\u2019s long tenure in senior leadership, having been appointed as a Red Bull Racing director in March 2007 and to the technologies board in 2010.<\/p>\n He served alongside team adviser Helmut Marko in the racing arm and finance director Alistair Rew in the technologies operation.<\/p>\n The new filings confirm Salzer\u2019s addition to both company boards, joining Marko as the only other director in Red Bull Racing.<\/p>\n Salzer, who joined the company in 2007 after a spell at BP, previously served as a Red Bull Racing director briefly in 2005 during the team\u2019s formative months.<\/p>\n Horner, who oversaw eight drivers\u2019 championships and six constructors\u2019 titles during his leadership, has kept largely out of the spotlight since leaving the paddock.<\/p>\n He has been linked with a number of potential returns to Formula 1, including to Alpine and to Ferrari as a replacement for Fred Vasseur \u2014 a prospect ended when the Scuderia renewed Vasseur\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christian Horner has been removed from his last roles at Red Bull.
