About this episode

The bombshell news that Christian Horner has been ousted as Red Bull team principal is explained in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 


Jon Noble and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to discuss his sudden departure and the circumstances surrounding it - including the potential impact on Max Verstappen.


We also discuss what to expect from new Red Bull Racing CEO Laurent Mekies, and also his successor at Racing Bulls, Alan Permane. And with question marks over performance next year, what does all of this mean for Red Bull’s longer-term F1 prospects?


Horner’s legacy and role in Red Bull’s climb to the top of F1, and the question of what he will do next, are also explored.
