Red Bull appoints new director: This is Horner's successor

Red Bull has appointed a new director for Red Bull Racing. This is Stefan Salzer, who is Global Head of HR at Red Bull GmbH. This information was revealed in the records of British Companies House, which were submitted by Red Bull GmbH this Thursday.

Salzer is the successor of Christian Horner, who officially is no longer the director of Max Verstappen's racing team. 

This was also announced this Thursday, according to data from Companies' House.

Salzer was previously a director of Red Bull Racing, according to documents. Last January, he was appointed to the same position, only to step down just a week later. Salzer was reappointed on July 8th, but this appointment was not finalized until August 14th.

Stefan Salzer has apparently been working for Red Bull GmbH for many years. He joined the company in 2007, after working for a while at the Austrian branch of oil company BP. At first glance, the Austrian has no prior motorsport background.
