Alex Powell: What Does Christian Horner's Sacking Mean for Liam Lawson?

Red Bull announced Christian Horner's dismissal from his roles as CEO and Team Principal on July 9, 2025, replacing him with Laurent Mekies.
Horner's departure followed years of leading Red Bull Racing to dominance but coincided with allegations and worsening team performance, while rumors suggested Max Verstappen's potential exit.
Laurent Mekies, promoted from Racing Bulls, now leads Red Bull with a reputation for nurturing young drivers like Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar, who face challenging futures amid team changes.
Red Bull celebrated 22 wins in 2023 under Horner and acknowledged his 20-year tenure, with the CEO of corporate projects calling it 'exceptional work' and thanking him publicly.
Horner's exit signals a pivotal restructuring for Red Bull amid possible Verstappen loss, raising uncertainty for team stability and prospects for junior drivers like Lawson to return.
