Can’t say I’m shocked, desperation move to keep Max.

Toto hearing the news be like.....

Can't say I'm overly surprised either...but damn.
20 years with that team with countless wins and a handful of drivers and constructors championships and BAM. Just like that....
I get it, that's how it goes sometimes - but still.
Very unceremonious...sort of feel for the guy a bit.
Meanwhile , the Drive To Survive production team is uncontrollably foaming at the mouth right now hah.

Eight drivers championships in 20 years and six constructors, and you get sacked. RB will now be in the wilderness for years as they come to grips as to why they goofed up their program. Plenty of RB actors putting sticks in their own spokes for their own reasons. Max won't hang around a losing team for long.

I have to wonder whether his sacking is solely based on the teams performance this year. Is Max moving on, so Horner gets cut? Are they dumping Horner to try and keep Max? Maybe just a culmination of last years investigation along with the shit happening this year. No fan of Horner, but I would rather see that relic Marko dumped first.

Agree on Marko, he has done real damage the last couple of years, a real s**t stirrer.

Watch Horner go to Ferrari in 2-3 years for a revenge tour against RBR and Max.

Yeah I really can't imagine RB continuing to be a dominant team after loosing so many key players.
What I'm really interested in is what is next for Sacked Spice....

Looks like silly season is a year round phenomena. Big news to be sure but I guess not overly surprising given the seemingly caustic personalities of Horner, Marko and Jos Verstappen. I say this from a fan's perspective because what the hell do I know? Christian Horner to leave with immediate effect begs the question; has Red Bull given Horner "wiings" ? 😉

RB is known to be brutal but this one is on a total different level.

Does he have a non-compete clause or can he go to another team right away?

Either

A. Harrassment again
B. Or desperate attempt to keep Max as Jos was never team Horner and Marko is fully taking control.

My guess is if he was fired, he can go where ever he wants and RBR can't limit his employment opportunities. If he was on paid leave, then he's stuck with RBR until his paid leave/ is over.

It feels very much like Marko taking full control, but the man is 82 years old so his days in charge of anything have to be very much numbered at this point.
