Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's team principal, is reportedly considering an exit amid internal power struggles and reduced influence within the team.
For years, Horner enjoyed strong backing from Chalerm Yoovidhya, Thai co-owner of Red Bull GmbH, but that support has now ended.
"For Chalerm Yoovidhya, enough is enough," according to GPblog.
Recent internal measures have curtailed Horner's authority, notably stripping him of the ability to sign driver contracts, a responsibility now held solely by Helmut Marko and Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull GmbH's managing director.
Horner has publicly hinted at interest from other teams, revealing to German media that Ferrari had once courted him, though not recently. More significantly, he is currently in discussions with Flavio Briatore, Alpine's advisor, who is seeking a replacement for the recently departed Oliver Oakes.
The tension within Red Bull Racing is further underscored by Horner's failed attempt to remove Helmut Marko a year ago. This move backfired when star driver Max Verstappen declared,
"If Helmut goes, I go," making Horner's position precarious.
These developments suggest Horner's future at Red Bull is uncertain, with Alpine emerging as a potential new destination as talks with Briatore intensify.
