Horner was dismissed as team principal and CEO of the Red Bull Racing team. On Instagram, he shared a heartwarming video receiving support from an unexpected quarter.
The video showed 10-year-old Teddy paying tribute to the dismissed team principal of Red Bull Racing. The TV in the background displayed footage of Horner’s successes with Red Bull. Teddy reflected on the team's successes: ‘To my hero Christian Horner. You are the person who inspired me to start watching Formula 1 five years ago. You have been the fire behind the team for the past twenty years and brought so many victories. You will forever have a place in my heart.’

‘You went where no one else dared to go with smart solutions and investments. I will never forget what you have achieved and what you still can achieve in the future. Watching the race is my favorite part of the week, especially seeing Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship and Max in the Drivers’ Championship. It will never be the same watching races knowing you’re no longer on the pit wall. Hearing you cheer after the drivers’ success will always stay with me, even when I need to concentrate.’
‘You will forever remain in our hearts, so please don’t forget that. Greetings from your biggest 10-year-old fan, Teddy.’
Teddy then showed a piece of paper with a photo of Horner and the text: ‘To my hero’. The former Red Bull boss seemed impressed: ‘Thank you Teddy’.
