Horner sacked by RedBull

[Nitrodaze]

The power struggle at Redbull has come to an end as Redbull sacks its most successful team principal, Christian Horner. Eight Driver's Titles and six Constructors' titles were not enough to mend the rift between Horner and his aggressors with Redbull. Merkie of Racing Bull takes over with immediate effect.

But what does this mean for Redbull losing the last of its founding management? Can Redbull survive another seismic change like this without some side effects?

Horner, as a free agent, puts a lot of pressure on a number of team principals. Especially if they are currently contending with performance setbacks or lacking the confidence of their boards of executives.

I am sure Chevrolet would be immediately on the phone to Horner to take over their project. They would not find a better man for the job. Unfortunately, this increases pressure on Vasseur's position at Ferrari. I am sure Audi and Aston Martin would also be wanting to engage his services.

Redbull may be done with Horner, but l doubt F1 is done with Horner. The question is where does he want to go?

Can Horner build another SuperTeam at Chevrolet? I am sure in 2021, Hamilton wished he had Horn er in his corner and not the soft Woolf fighting his claim to the title. Hence, a Horner move to Ferrari would be welcomed by Hamilton, l am sure. LeClerc would have the challenge of building a new relationship. To be fair, so would be Hamilton as they have been on opposite sides most of their careers.
