Christian Horner blames Mateschitz's death for his Red Bull exit

Original: Christian Horner blames Dietrich Mateschitz's death for the "painful" end of his F1 reign https://www.motorsport.com/f1/

Christian Horner says the death of Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022 led to the "painful" end of his long tenure running the team's Formula 1 operation. Horner, who led Red Bull Racing from its formation and oversaw multiple championship wins, suggested that with Mateschitz gone he lost the key backer who had protected and supported him within the company's hierarchy.

Why now: Horner rarely speaks openly about his departure, so his comments on why he lost his backing are drawing attention from F1 fans.
