Christian Horner has been sacked as Red Bull team principal.
Horner's dismissal comes 17 months after he was accused by a female colleague of “inappropriate behaviour". Horner was twice exonerated of the claims by the Formula One team's parent company, Red Bull GmbH.
On Wednesday a statement from Red Bull GmbH read: “Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.”
Horner, 51, had been team principal at Red Bull since 2005, overseeing eight drivers’ world championships and six constructors’ titles.
