Christian Horner, the longest-tenured team principal in Formula 1, is out after two decades. Here's what he told the team.

Laurent Mekies, the boss of sister team Racing Bulls, will replace Horner, who has been with the team since its inception in 2005 and led it to 124 wins and numerous championships.

Sacked Red Bull boss Christian Horner has been labelled an ‘idiot 50-year-old who thought he was 20’ by former Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. The F1 world was rocked on Wednesday when it was announced that Horner had been ‘relieved of his operational duties’, although he still remains employed by Red Bull.
