F1 expert claims to know what ultimately pushed Horner out of Red Bull's door

Christian Horner was abruptly sacked as team principal and CEO of Red Bull Racing. On Tuesday, he received a call from Red Bull’s top management, and just a day later, the news made headlines around the world. According to van de Grint, Horner himself played a part in losing the trust that ultimately led to his exit.

‘’His flirting with other teams, that made some people think 'is that guy still so loyal?' That definitely did not do his position any good,’’ said the former Bridgestone tire expert.

Van de Grint points to Horner’s alleged flirtations with both Alpine and Ferrari. Horner was reportedly exploring a potential role at Alpine as CEO and team principal alongside Flavio Briatore, while also fueling speculation that Ferrari was eyeing him as a possible successor to Frédéric Vasseur.

Kalff and Van de Grint talk about 'panic football' at Red Bull Racing, by parting ways with the team boss in the middle of the season. The replacement was immediately ready in the form of Laurent Mekies, but Van de Grint has his reservations about that.
