Red Bull has sacked long-serving Formula One principal Christian Horner and promoted Laurent Mekies from sister team Racing Bulls in the role of chief executive. Horner, 51, had been in position since becoming the youngest team boss when Red Bull made its debut as a constructor in 2005.

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.
