Shortly after the British Grand Prix, Crimson Bull delivered one of many largest shocks of the 2025 System 1 season by eradicating Christian Horner as Staff Principal.
Now, the workforce has formally severed all ties with Horner.
On the time the transfer was made, Horner outlined in a farewell speech to Crimson Bull workers that whereas he had handed the “baton” on the helm of the workforce, he remained a Crimson Bull worker as effectively. Nevertheless, in paperwork filed with Corporations Home on Wednesday, each Crimson Bull Racing Restricted and Crimson Bull Know-how Restricted have eliminated Horner as a director, changing him with Stefan Salzer.
Within the “Termination of a Director Appointment” doc filed on Wednesday on behalf of Crimson Bull Racing Restricted, a termination date of August 13 was listed for Horner:
Within the “Appointment of a Director” doc filed on Wednesday concerning Salzer, it was famous that his “Date of Appointment” was July 8 — the Monday after the British Grand Prix and a day earlier than Horner was dismissed as Staff Principal — and that his place was “International Head of [Human Resources]:”
Whereas Salzer steps into the Director function vacated by Horner, the workforce moved Laurent Mekies (previously the Staff Principal at Visa Money App Racing Bulls) into that function with Crimson Bull.
As for what comes subsequent for Horner, rumors within the paddock maintain that the previous Crimson Bull boss will return to the game sooner somewhat than later, maybe with an possession stake in a workforce just like the connection his former rival Toto Wolff has with Mercedes.
However now, his Crimson Bull days are formally within the rear-view mirror.
