McLaren CEO surprised by 'timing' but not 'result' of Christian Horner Red Bull axe:

— Zak Brown, McLaren CEO, expressed that Christian Horner's departure from Red Bull was inevitable given the team's deteriorating performance over the past couple of years. Speaking to media, Brown remarked:

“Maybe the timing, but not the result.”

— Brown noted the ongoing turmoil within Red Bull, suggesting that the internal drama had been escalating rather than subsiding. He elaborated:

“There's been a lot of drama there the last couple of years and it doesn't seem like that drama has been calming down, maybe even been getting worse.”

— Reflecting on the timing of Horner's exit, Brown indicated that such a decision was not unexpected during the racing season:

“So, I'm not surprised, anytime in the middle of the season.”

— With Horner's future uncertain, Brown speculated on his potential next steps in the racing world, acknowledging Horner's extensive experience and passion for motorsport:

“I think given his age and his history in motor racing, I'd be surprised if he didn't show up somewhere in motor racing.”

— Brown humorously considered other possibilities for Horner's career, though he admitted having no concrete information:

“But I don't know his other interests, whether he wants to go run a football team or what have you. We'll see.”

— As McLaren focuses on their championship goals, Brown emphasized the importance of staying vigilant against competitors like Max Verstappen:

“We're head down on our championship. They've got Max [Verstappen] still knocking on the door, so we've got to pay attention to that.”
