Christian Horner receives £67 million payout after Red Bull Racing dismissal

Christian Horner, former Red Bull Racing team principal, received a £67 million payout after being dismissed in 2025, according to financial documents. The total package exceeded £76 million. Horner, who led the team for 20 years, was dismissed following allegations of inappropriate behavior, which he denied. Max Verstappen, who won four championships under Horner, said the paddock is now 'less stressful.' Horner has expressed interest in returning to F1, possibly with Ferrari, but the team has reaffirmed support for their current principal.
