Answering your questions about Horner's Red Bull departure - and what happens next

We answer your questions about the biggest Formula 1 story of 2025 yet, Christian Horner’s departure from Red Bull, on the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.


Nelson Valkenburg and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to sift through a wide variety of questions, starting with one about what it means for Red Bull’s F1 ambitions.


We also discuss the role of the Verstappens in the change, the departure of two key Horner allies and what it means for the 2026 project.


There’s also a look at Laurent Mekies’s suitability and how his approach to drivers might change - as well as whether this change is a good thing for Yuki Tsunoda.


Potential FIA political aspirations and possible future destinations for Horner are also tackled, as well as a reflection on where he stands among the great team principals - and much more.
