F1 News: Red Bull are in crisis and Christian Horner has a chilling theory about why

Theory Briefing

  • Red Bull's fall from the top after two decades of F1 success raises the question of whether sustained dominance itself plants the seeds of decline.
  • Horner has publicly offered his own explanation for the crisis, a rare moment of a team principal diagnosing his own team's collapse mid-season.
  • The gap between a dynasty's peak and its unraveling can be surprisingly short in F1, where technical and organizational edges erode fast.
