Martin Brundle reveals what Christian Horner said to him after Red Bull sacking

Martin Brundle has shared what Christian Horner's initial reaction was after being fired as Red Bull’s Formula One team principal on Wednesday, 9 July.

The 51-year-old has led the team since its inception in 2005. Both Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen claimed four drivers’ championships under his guidance.
