Christian Horner has officially left Red Bull after agreeing an exit from the team.

The former team principal was relieved of “operational duties” by Red Bull GmbH, the energy drinks’ parent company, following July’s British Grand Prix.

His contract, which was due to run until 2030, has now concluded and the 51-year-old would be free to return to the sport, potentially as soon as next year.

A Red Bull Racing statement read: “Oracle Red Bull Racing announces today that team principal and CEO Christian Horner will leave the team today.”
