Motorsport: Christian Horner officially leaves Red Bull with big bag of cash

# Motorsport: Christian Horner has officially left Red Bull after reportedly agreeing a huge pay-off with the Formula One team. The 51-year-old, who led Red Bull to eight drivers’ titles and six constructors’ crowns, was sacked as team principal in July. His contract, which had been due to run until 2030, has now concluded and he will be free to return to the sport, potentially as soon as next year. Media reports in Britain suggested Horner will receive up to 1.9-billion-rand in the pay-off.
