Christian Horner spotted out for the first time since being axed by Red Bull

Red Bull Racing’s former Team Principal, Christian Horner, was sacked by the team just a couple of days after the British Grand Prix. The 51-year-old has since then kept a low profile but was recently spotted out for the first time with his family.

Horner had been Red Bull’s Team Principal since the team was founded in 2005. However, soon after the British GP, the news of Horner being sacked by the Milton Keynes-based team came out on July 9, 2025. The British executive was sacked with immediate effect as Laurent Mekies took over his role.

Christian Horner took to Red Bull’s Milton Keynes factory hours after he was informed about the sacking and said his final goodbyes to the team members. The F1 race at Silverstone was Horner's last public appearance. The last post on the Briton's Instagram profile is about his tenure at Red Bull Racing.

Horner's social media stories have hinted at what he's been up to since the sacking, which includes him attending the Oasis concert at Wembley, and recently sharing images of a sunset from a yacht, but not explicitly revealed himself or his location.

However, a Croatian photographer recently captured Christian Horner’s wife Geri Halliwell on the Sunseeker yacht Majic, in the Adriatic Sea. While the focus of the images was on the Spice Girl Geri, Christian Horner and his family could also be seen in the same. 29 images from the same were shared by the Croatian website 24sata.hr

While Christian Horner was sacked with immediate effect and no longer served as the Team Principal, he continued to serve as a Director on Red Bull’s various companies, including Powertrains, Technology, and Racing entities.

As per the latest documents filed with Companies House in the UK, Horner has been removed as the Director of these companies, with Red Bull GmbH’s global head of HR, Stefan Salzer, taking his place.

Christian Horner is rumored to reunite with Sergio Perez at Cadillac F1

Ever since the sacking, Christian Horner has been linked to multiple Formula 1 teams, including Alpine and Ferrari. Horner took Red Bull to multiple championships and will become a key member at any team he joins. According to AMuS, Cadillac has showcased interest in the former Red Bull Team Principal.

Although Cadillac has already appointed Graeme Lowdon as its Team Principal, Horner’s joining would mean Lowdon taking up another role at the team. On the other hand, reports of former Red Bull driver Sergio Perez joining Cadillac for its debut F1 season have also started circling the paddock.

Sources suggest that Perez has signed a contract with Cadillac, and the same will be announced at the 2025 Canadian GP. Valtteri Bottas is likely to partner with the Mexican at the American team for the 2026 season.
