Christian Horner has issued a Red Bull resignation update after a difficult 2024 Formula 1 season.
In 2024, the Red Bull team principal encountered challenges both on and off the track, as Horner was investigated for alleged inappropriate behavior towards a female employee at the start of the season.
Horner was found not to have committed any wrongdoing after the investigation. Nevertheless, the controversy led to internal instability at Red Bull, with some calling for him to resign from his position.
Furthermore, Red Bull faced challenges with their car’s performance as competitors McLaren and Ferrari surpassed them in speed and ultimately finished ahead of them in the Constructors’ Championship.
Alongside Red Bull’s declining performance in 2024, the team experienced significant departures as major figures Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley left for rival teams Aston Martin and Sauber.
In spite of their challenges in 2024, Red Bull secured the drivers’ title with Max Verstappen after one of his most challenging championship battles, enduring a 10-race winless streak halfway through the season.
When questioned about whether he had contemplated resigning during Red Bull’s challenges in 2024, Horner firmly stated that leaving the team never crossed his mind.”Honestly, that thought has never crossed my mind,” he told PlanetF1.
An exciting new chapter with Red Bull Power trains is on the horizon, marking the biggest challenge we’ve faced in our 20 years in the sport. I believe this upcoming phase could be one of our most thrilling yet.You’re constantly learning in this environment business.”
