The reason Horner wishes to quit Red Bull Racing is.

The questions that the Red Bull Racing team principal will face on Thursday when he enters the F1 paddock for the first time are predictable. The woman who is accusing him of engaging in cross-border behavior has filed an appeal with the FIA’s ethics committee, and the media will undoubtedly be interested in hearing his thoughts on these matters. The next chapter in the Horner tragedy has already begun: the British citizen wants to take over as CEO of Red Bull GmbH.

There has been a power struggle between the Austrian side (49 percent of shares) and the Thai side (51 percent) in the Red Bull company since the passing of co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz. It is now evident that Christian Horner has aligned himself with the Thai camp, which has maintained him in his role in spite of claims of acting inappropriately toward a now-suspended employee.

Bild has been informed that Horner’s aspiration to become CEO of Red Bull GmbH is now backed by Choler (73), the Thai majority shareholder of Red Bull. Current executives Alexander (finance), Franz Watzlawick (sales), and Oliver (sports) would be replaced in that scenario.

The German outlet claims that Horner has the Thai by the tail when it comes to support, as has shown him the way. In the event that the British driver triumphed, Red Bull would acquire Alex Alban, a Thai driver with a strong chance of taking home the world championship with Red Bull in 2025. Particularly if Max Verstappen finds housing elsewhere for the upcoming season after becoming weary of the unrest at Red Bull Racing.

As previously stated, Horner will serve as CEO of Red bull Technologies, an organization distinct from the beverage manufacturer. that competes in Formula One racing and makes engines and sports automobiles.

Since 2022, this has been in the works.
