Red Bull's 2026 performance has come under scrutiny following Christian Horner's exit, potentially leaving Max Verstappen in a dilemma.

Former Red Bull family driver Sebastien Bourdais has stated that it's 'not easy' for the team to lose a figure like Christian Horner mid-season. However, the Frenchman is certain that they are in 'good hands' under the new leadership of Laurent Mekies.

Just days after Red Bull axed Christian Horner, the Formula 1 giants have reportedly decided to sack one of their drivers. Last week, Red Bull announced that Horner had been ‘relieved of his operational duties’ having lead the team for over two decades.
