\n The multi-million pound payout has been shown in Red Bull Racing’s accounts, filed this week at Companies House, after Mr Horner was sacked by the Formula 1 team last year.\n<\/p>\n
\n In the declaration of the team’s finances for 2025, \u00a333.49 million is recorded as compensation for the \u201chighest paid director\u201d, believed to be Mr Horner, and \u00a34.44 million in remuneration was also reportedly given to him.\n<\/p>\n
\n The two figures take the total payment to around \u00a338 million.\n<\/p>\n

\n GB News has further reported that the accounts do not name the director in the compensation entry, and the figures do not establish the value of any wider settlement across the Red Bull group.\n<\/p>\n
\n The records show, according to Business Matters, that his employment as director was terminated on August 13, 2025, with Laurent Mekies taking over.\n<\/p>\n
\n This had been announced the month before when Mr Horner left his post.\n<\/p>\n

\n He was first appointed as Red Bull’s team principal when the energy drinks company took over Jaguar’s Formula 1 operation at the end of 2004.\n<\/p>\n
\n During his time at the helm, the team secured eight drivers\u2019 world championships and six constructors\u2019 titles, with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen among those to enjoy success under his leadership.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Horner, who lives on the Oxfordshire border near Banbury, has now claimed he was initially told that the team\u2019s performance had declined before receiving a more detailed explanation after pushing for answers.\n<\/p>\n

\n Speaking to The Times, he said: \u201cI was never given a clear explanation other than that they felt [the team\u2019s] performance had slipped a little.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEven though at the [previous] race we\u2019d been on pole position and leading the British Grand Prix; had it not been for the weather, we\u2019d probably have won it. And that they wanted to go in a different direction.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhen I really pushed \u2014 I had six years left on my contract \u2014 I was told that it was more Christian Horner Racing than Red Bull Racing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n His exit came after he had faced an allegation of misconduct involving a female employee in 2024, which he denied.\n<\/p>\n
\n Red Bull dismissed the complaint against Mr Horner following an internal investigation, while an appeal against that decision was also dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
\n At the time of the interview, Red Bull had reportedly gone 15 races without a victory, its longest winless run since Mr Verstappen joined the team in 2016.\n<\/p>\n
\n That sequence subsequently ended when the four-time world champion claimed victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix, which was held in Malaysia.\n<\/p>\n
