Christian Horner, the former Red Bull Racing team principal, receives a reported large compensation payment after he is sacked by Red Bull in July 2025. Multiple outlets cite newly published records indicating he is paid a substantial sum after his departure from his operational role.
The reports link the sacking to a turbulent period that begins with allegations of inappropriate behaviour toward a female colleague, which are later described as dismissed. Red Bull replaces Horner with Laurent Mekies in the team principal role in early July 2025, while Horner formally leaves after the transition.
Outlets differ mainly in the figures highlighted: one report focuses on a £67 million payout, while another cites a larger combined compensation figure (over £100 million) drawn from Companies House filings. Across coverage, the shared angle is that the compensation is confirmed through official or newly released documents, and the payment is tied to his loss of office following his exit from the Milton Keynes team.
