Horner reportedly looking for promotion

Now, it has been reported by Bild that Horner may be seeking a 'new role' within the wider Red Bull GmbH brand.

The Brit is currently the CEO of Red Bull Racing, but Bild say that Horner is looking to become the CEO of Red Bull GmbH, a role currently jointly held by Franz Watzlawick and Oliver Mintzlaff.

Mintzlaff himself was present at the recent Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and was involved in talks with key figures, including 80-year-old Marko.

Horner and Red Bull are likely to face more media furore as Formula 1 heads to Melbourne for the Australian GP this weekend.
