Christian Horner Sues Red Bull for Massive €50 Million Compensation Following Shock…read more
Former Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has launched a blockbuster legal battle against his former employer, filing a lawsuit demanding a staggering €50 million in compensation following his abrupt and highly publicized dismissal.
Sources close to the case confirm that Horner is suing Red Bull for unlawful termination, breach of contract, and reputational damage, claiming the team’s handling of his exit has caused “irreparable harm” to his career and public image.
The legal action comes just weeks after Horner was removed from his position amid mounting internal tensions and alleged power struggles within the Red Bull hierarchy. Though the exact reasons behind his sacking remain undisclosed, Horner’s legal team argues that the dismissal violated several contractual protections and was carried out in bad faith.
“Christian has been a pillar of Red Bull’s success for nearly two decades. The way he was removed was not only unjust but professionally and personally damaging,” a legal spokesperson stated.
The €50 million figure reportedly includes loss of future earnings, severance entitlements, and damages for reputational harm caused by the very public nature of his exit.
The lawsuit has already created fresh turmoil within the Red Bull camp, adding fuel to an already unstable period following internal management reshuffles and uncertainty around star driver Max Verstappen’s future.
As the legal drama unfolds, the case threatens to expose deeper fractures inside one of Formula 1’s most dominant teams — and may mark the beginning of an ugly corporate war.
