Horner, one of the most successful team principals in the sport\u2019s history, had been ousted from his role at Red Bull\u2019s Milton Keynes base in July. Despite stepping back from operational duties, he technically remained on the payroll until now.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"712\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3850\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XPB_1358509_HiRes-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"996\">According to the <em data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"743\">Daily Mail<\/em> and <em data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"759\">The Times<\/em>, the payoff is less than what Horner would have earned had he stayed on until his contract expired in 2030.
