The younger Piqué proposed a theory about Horner's dismissal.

      Nelson Piqué Jr., Max Verstappen's friend Kelly Piqué's brother, proposed an interesting theory about Christian Horner's dismissal. According to the former Formula 1 driver, Red Bull owners got rid of Horner to make the team more attractive to new key employees.

      Nelson Piqué Jr.: "Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to keep Max at Red Bull? I heard that the team has trouble hiring key specialists because none of them like the atmosphere at Red Bull Racing.

      Yes, there were minor disagreements between Horner and Max's father, and that worried some people. Ultimately, Red Bull decided that as long as Christian is in the team, it will be difficult to hire new specialists. At least, that's what they say.

      Horner didn't want to split responsibilities. He wanted to control everything single-handedly – both teams, the engine division. For him, it was a win-win situation.

      If he gained all the power, it could have become a huge moral victory. And if not, he would receive a large sum of money, nearly one hundred million dollars in compensation. Perhaps Red Bull decided simply to get rid of Horner and hire the people they had already selected. So, it's not just about Max."
