After an emotional farewell speech earlier on Wednesday, Christian Horner also took to Instagram to bid farewell to his team. The now-dismissed team principal and CEO of Red Bull Racing thanked several people.

“After an incredible journey of twenty years together, it is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to the team I have so dearly loved. Each of you, the wonderful people in the factory, have been the heart and soul of everything we have achieved. Whether we won or lost, at every step, we supported each other, and I will never forget that. It was a privilege to be part of and lead this epic team, and I am so proud of our collective achievements and of all of you.”

“Thanks to the amazing partners and fans who have enabled us to race. Your support has helped the team grow from humble beginnings into an F1 powerhouse with six constructors' titles and eight drivers' titles to its name.”

“Also thanks to our rivals, without whom there would be no races at all. You've pushed us, challenged us, and enabled us to deliver performances we never thought possible. The competition made every victory sweeter and every setback an opportunity to develop and grow.”

“Formula 1 is a sport based on relentless ambition, passion, and respect. The rivalry was fierce, but the mutual drive to innovate and set the bar higher has made this journey so special.”

“It has been an honor to be part of this incredible era of motorsport. I leave with immense pride in what we have achieved, and in what's in the pipeline for 2026 – and with immense respect for everyone who has made F1 the pinnacle it is today. Thank you.”

“Christian”
