Jeremy Clarkson reveals text to Christian Horner after surprise sacking:
— Jeremy Clarkson compared Christian Horner's unexpected departure from Red Bull to his own exit from the BBC. In his column for The Sun, Clarkson expressed support for Horner, revealing he texted him after the news broke. Clarkson shared:
“I sent him a text after the news of his dismissal broke, pointing out that I've been in his shoes in the past.”
“I explained that when you wake the following morning, it's easy to think, 'Well, that's that, then'. But in my case, that wasn't that. I hadn't trodden on a snake. I'd trodden on a ladder. And I bet he does, too.”
— Clarkson recounted spending time with Horner at the British Grand Prix, where Horner was unaware of his impending dismissal. Clarkson observed:
“I spent a bit of time with Christian at the [British] Grand Prix on Sunday. And it was plain he had no inkling at all that the bullet was coming.”
— Clarkson also mentioned Horner's personal challenges, discussing Horner's daughter, Olivia, and her recent loss. He noted:
“He was with his 11-year-old daughter, Olivia, whose mother had just died of eye cancer. And we mostly talked about that and how the poor little mite was coping.”
— Clarkson expressed confidence in Horner's future success, drawing parallels to his own career trajectory. He speculated:
“The clever money is saying he'll go to Alpine, but next year they will have Mercedes engines. Which means Christian would have to work with Silver Arrows boss Toto Wolff. And as those two really don't get on, I can't see that happening.”
— Clarkson highlighted potential opportunities for Horner with new F1 entrants. He suggested:
“Audi is coming into the sport next year, and Cadillac. And there's talk the Chinese are making F1 noises. And all of them would jump at the chance of getting Horner.”
— Clarkson's outlook for Red Bull without Horner was less optimistic. He warned:
“Well, look what happened to Man United when Ferguson was no longer at the helm. On that basis, this once-great team may well end up, in a couple of years, in Formula 4.”
