Christian Horner has been tipped to join an F1 backmarker team rather than Ferrari following his shock dismissal by Red Bull after 20 years in charge of the team

Laurent Mekies, the boss of sister team Racing Bulls, will replace Horner, who has been with the team since its inception in 2005 and led it to 124 wins and numerous championships.

One year later, in 2006, Superman took over the car as David Coulthard scored Red Bull’s first podium finish, leading to Horner jumping into the swimming pool located on the top of the Energy Station wearing only a red cape after losing a bet over the result.
