Oliver Mintzlaff, the Red Bull CEO of Corporate Projects and Investments, said in a statement that “We would like to thank Christian Horner for his exceptional work over the last 20 years. With his tireless commitment, experience, expertise and innovative thinking, he has been instrumental in establishing Red Bull Racing as one of the most successful and attractive teams in Formula 1.
“Thank you for everything, Christian, and you will forever remain an important part of our team history.”
Ahead of the 2024 season, Christian Horner was accused of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female colleague, but he emphatically denied it and remained in charge as Team Principal of Red Bull. He was twice exonerated of the claims by F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH.
Earlier this year, there were reports that Christian Horner’s wife, former Spice Girls Geri, had changed her surname from Horner to Halliwell-Horner following the scandal. However she clarified this when she spoke to the Sunday Times and said: “That's a load of c**p. It's my writing name. I haven't legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport.”
She also revealed that her daughter Bluebell had been adopted by Christian Horner, Bluebell’s biological father is Sacha Gervasi, a journalist turned screenwriter and director.
