Christian Horner was fired as Red Bull Racing’s team principal in mid-2025 after 20 years, amid declining performance and internal issues, as shown in a Feb. 27, 2026, Netflix episode.

Christian Horner, team principal of Red Bull Racing since 2005, was dismissed mid-2025 after nearly two decades leading the team to eight drivers’ and six constructors’ championships, a moment captured in Netflix’s *Drive to Survive* season released February 27, 2026. The emotional fallout was shown in scenes filmed at his Oxfordshire-Northamptonshire home, where he informed wife Geri Halliwell of his abrupt exit. Horner, cleared in a 2024 harassment scandal, cited declining performance, internal conflicts, and lack of a proper farewell. He reportedly received an £80 million severance. The episode titled ‘A Bull With No Horns’ marks the end of a dominant era in Formula 1.
