Christian Horner's days as the Red Bull team boss could be numbered. It has come to light that the Thai co-owner of Red Bull GmbH, Chalerm Yoovidhya, has lost his faith in Horner, and in line with this, the fans have taken to social media to come up with their reactions.
Red Bull's 2025 Formula 1 season has not proved smooth sailing so far, with the team struggling in the championship. It has not been able to provide its star Max Verstappen with a title-worthy car, and this, among other factors, has led to he massive pressure increase on Horner.
With several reports insisting that the British team principal could be on his way out, the fans have responded via X. A particular fan had a cheeky response via X:
"Every dog has its day. Helmut won the WhatsApp saga."
A second fan via the same platform added the following:
"GOOD. Horner needs to go."
Here are some of the other reactions:
"Red Bull's cooked." A fan wrote.
"Hahahahaha I love happy endings." Another hilariously added.
"4 Championships in a row not good enough?" A fan defended Horner.
Christian Horner has been leading Red Bull since its inception in 2005.
Christian Horner's take on an approach from Ferrari ahead of the Spanish GP
Christian Horner is one of the most well-known personalities in the world of Formula 1. He has been leading Red Bull's charge for over two decades, and while he is under immense pressure, courtesy of a plethora of reasons, he took the time to touch on a potential approach from Ferrari ahead of last week's 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.
During the race weekend, it was rumoured that Horner was approached by the Maranello-based team for a top position in its F1 setup. However, when this was put forward to Horner during the race weekend interviews, he made it crystal clear that he's fully committed to Red Bull.
"Look, I mean, of course, it’s always flattering to be associated with other teams, but my commitment, 100%, is with Red Bull – it always has been and certainly will be for the long-term. There’s a bunch of speculation, always in this business, people coming here, going there, whatever. I think people in the team know exactly what the situation is." Horner said via F1.
Horner has a lot on his plate in the ongoing 2025 Formula 1 season. While various kinds of rumors have been making the rounds around him on the web, he has also got to focus on his team's on-track performances.
The RB21 has so far proved to be a handful, and Verstappen has slammed it on multiple occasions due to its lackluster performance output. This is one of the main reasons why the reigning world champion is quite far behind in the 2025 drivers' championship.
As things stand, Verstappen is in third place with 137 points, whereas the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri is way ahead with 176 and 186 points.
Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, several eyes will be on Christian Horner and Co. during next week's Canadian Grand Prix race weekend.
