Christian Horner: Demoting Liam Lawson from Red Bull 'wasn't my choice'
- On Friday, Horner says the decision to swap Liam Lawson for Yuki Tsunoda was made by Oliver Mintzlaff with Helmut Marko advising, not by him.
- Inside the group, Horner recalls shifts that left him vulnerable after Dietrich Mateschitz's death, with Helmut Marko's role and broader corporate shifts showing up on camera, and Marko announced his retirement in December.
- Horner said `His father has never been my biggest fan. He’s been outspoken about me, but I don’t believe the Verstappens were responsible in any way`, and on camera he recalled feeling 'a real sense of loss' and that he 'didn’t really get a chance to say a proper goodbye.'
- Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies in September, who then oversaw improved team performance that extended Verstappen's title challenge to the final race, according to Red Bull.
- Horner has since booked a speaking tour of Australia, scheduled for Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth, as Netflix's Drive To Survive has generated over US$290 million since 2020.
