39: Emergency Podcast - Christian Horner Sacked By Red Bull Racing


Listen Later

In this emergency podcast we react to the news that Christian Horner has been sacked with immediate effect by Red Bull Racing.

During 20 years in charge of Red Bull Racing Horner won eight Drivers’ championships, six constructors’ and took 124 Grand Prix wins. But after some key departures and the poor performance this season of the car the team has dropped Horner.

His role will be taken by Racing Bulls Team Principal Laurent Mekies, who in turn will be replaced by Alan Permane, Racing Bulls Racing Director.

We’ll get into the background to the sacking, what role Max Verstappen and his father may have played and what it means for Ferrari, who may well move for the 51 year-old to replace Fred Vasseur, whose contract expires at the end of this season.

James Allen is joined in the studio to analyse the news by our correspondents Ronald Vording from Netherlands, Christian Nimmervoll from Austria and Motorsport Editor-in-Chief Ben Hunt.
