Former Red Bull Racing chief Christian Horner secured £100.482 million in severance after stepping away in July 2025, state‑filed documents confirm.
Breakdown of the payout
Companies House records show the figure divided between the team and its technical wing: £33.494 million paid by Red Bull Racing and £66.988 million from Red Bull Technologies, bringing the combined total to £100.482 million.
Team changes and exit timeline
Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies, former Racing Bulls team principal, on 9 July 2025. He departed the wider Red Bull Group on 13 August 2025, after two decades with the organisation.
Aftermath and media buzz
Speculation has linked Horner to Alpine and Ferrari, but he reaffirmed his love for the sport during his return to Silverstone at the 2026 British Grand Prix, noting, “I’ve not missed a race since ‘93, so it’s good to be here.” He added that his future moves will be “the right thing, something that really had an opportunity to win.”
