Horner left his role following an investigation into allegations of coercive behaviour.

During his tenure, the team won six World Constructors Championship titles between 2010 and 2023. Red Bull Racing is owned by the Austrian energy drink company Red Bull GmbH, which also owns several professional sports teams worldwide. [5][7][8]

Meanwhile, Giles Richards reported in the Guardian that Red Bull has seen recent improvements to its car, with driver Max Verstappen taking a victory at the Grand Prix in Malaysia. [2][3]
