He will also help run the powertrains division, alongside Alistair Rew.Horner was the head of all these divisions, alongside the team principal and CEO of RBR.

It remains to be seen how long the Austrian will stay with the team, as he has recently claimed that he might leave his role sooner rather than later.But things at the top have changed now, and it remains to be seen how long Marko sticks around.Christian Horner may still remain a Red Bull employeeChristian Horner at the British Grand Prix - Source: GettyChristian Horner had announced in his exit speech that he remains a non-operational Red Bull employee, even after he was sacked from his role as the team principal and CEO following the British GP in July. With him now removed as the head of RBR and the team's technology division, he might still remain an employee of the Austrian company.PlanetF1's Thomas Maher has reported that Horner being relieved of all his duties at Red Bull did not automatically mean that he was no longer an employee at the team. The Briton might still be part of the top-three highest-paid employees at the team, and his salary might be exempt from the F1 financial cap as a result.British journalist Joe Saward had also reported earlier that Horner will not leave the team until the two parties sort out an exit deal. This is complicated as the 51-year-old still has five years remaining on an expensive contract, and a payout will cost the team millions, according to Saward.It remains unclear whether or not Horner is still employed by Red Bull. Another possibility could see Horner end his contract without a payout, in case he is approached by another team, as reports of him being contacted by Cadillac F1 have emerged in recent days.
