Looks like speculation's back on the menu, boys!

Due to...

more legal challenges incoming?
worse performance for the past year?
an attempt to halt the brain drain from Red Bull?
Max wanted him out, and they're now complying what with Merc courting him so hard?
Red Bull lost Max to Merc, and Red Bull high ups are unhappy with Horner over it?
their engines for next season aren't looking good?
a combination of factors above?

Tbh I don't think it'd be down to performance alone. Red Bull has had down periods multiple times in the past 20 years.

Waiting for Red Bull to release a statement via an attachment named File-76.JPG.

When they've been down it was before Mateschitz passed. What he said was the law and he had the people he wanted in the positions he wanted. After that there were many factions fighting and trying to make the others look bad. Cue Horniers txt messages, Max's team threatening to leave, Marko looking like he'd be fired, and Newey leaving for money when he didn't get his way. The smart technical folks saw the infighting and jumped ship to teams where they could step up in their career
