Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing, is reportedly on the brink of discovering his fate at the team. Sky Sports has claimed that an announcement regarding Horner’s future could be made imminently, either today or tomorrow. This follows an external investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour. The investigation is believed to have been completed after weeks of uncertainty and a great deal of speculation.

The saga has cast a dark cloud over Red Bull ahead of the new season. Former F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve and former F1 driver Giancarlo Fisichella have expressed their concerns over the potential implications of Horner’s departure from Red Bull. They highlighted its significant implications for the team’s future successes and the championship battle.

Upcoming F1 season

The competitive action of the new F1 season is set to get underway in just four days at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Unusually, the first two races of the campaign will be held on Saturday rather than Sunday due to Ramadan, the Islamic holy month which starts on 10 March. Saudi Arabia’s second round was scheduled for that weekend and has been moved forward by a day as a result. Competition rules dictate there must be a full seven days between each Grand Prix, which means the opening round in Bahrain must also take place on a Saturday. The 2024 Formula One World Championship is almost upon us, with more races than ever before. The season will begin in Bahrain on 2 March and finish in Abu Dhabi on 8 December. The Dutch driver Max Verstappen, who has won three consecutive championships, will unsurprisingly be the highest-paid Formula One driver this year. In conclusion, the upcoming F1 season promises to be an exciting one, with the uncertainty surrounding Christian Horner’s future at Red Bull adding an extra layer of intrigue. As the teams gear up for the start of the season, all eyes will be on Red Bull and how they navigate through this challenging period.
