The 51-year-old, who had been with Red Bull since 2005, was the longest-serving team principal in F1.
Christian Horner has said his sacking as F1 Red Bull's team principal came as a "shock" during an emotional farewell speech.
The 51-year-old, who had been with Red Bull since 2005, was the longest-serving team principal in F1 . The team announced Laurent Mekies had been appointed as CEO on Wednesday.
A video of Horner's farewell speech at Red Bull's UK base in Milton Keynes, obtained by Sky Sports News , shows him breaking down in tears while explaining he was told he "would no longer be involved with the business or the team".
"I will still remain employed by the company, but, operationally, the baton will be handed over," he said during his speech on Wednesday.
"It came as a shock to myself.
"I've had a chance to reflect over the last 12 hours and wanted to stand in front of all of you to break this news and to express my gratitude to each and every single member of the team that has given so much during the last 20-and-a-half years.
"When I arrived 20 years ago, there were a few less grey hairs. I walked into a team and did not know what to expect, but I was immediately welcomed and we started to build what became a powerhouse in F1.
"Watching and being part of this team, has been the biggest privilege of my life."
Horner's exit - a seismic announcement in the world of racing - comes following a difficult period for the Red Bull team, which two years ago dominated the F1 championship, before dramatically falling behind its rivals.
The team currently sits fourth in the constructors' championship, behind McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari, while star driver Max Verstappen sits in third in the drivers' standings.
Horner's departure from the team also comes a year after allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made against him in February 2024 by a female colleague.
Horner, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Horner, has always denied the allegations against him. They were dismissed following an appeal last summer .
Red Bull's statement announcing the decision to sack Horner did not give a reason for his departure.
Under Horner, Red Bull Racing achieved 124 race wins, 107 pole positions and 287 podium finishes, and won eight Drivers' World Championships and six Constructors' Championships.
In a statement, Red Bull said: "We would like to thank Christian Horner for his exceptional work over the last 20 years.
"With his tireless commitment, experience, expertise and innovative thinking, he has been instrumental in establishing Red Bull Racing as one of the most successful and attractive teams in Formula 1.
"Thank you for everything, Christian, and you will forever remain an important part of our team history."
这位51岁的红牛车队领队自2005年加入以来，已成为F1赛事中任职时间最长的车队负责人。
克里斯蒂安·霍纳在一场充满情感的告别演讲中表示，他被解除F1红牛车队领队职务的消息令他感到"震惊"。
这位51岁的负责人自2005年起效力于红牛车队，是F1历史上任职时间最长的车队领队。周三，车队宣布任命洛朗·梅基斯（Laurent Mekies）为新任首席执行官。
天空体育新闻获取的一段视频显示，霍纳在红牛车队英国米尔顿凯恩斯基地发表告别演讲时泪流满面。他解释称，自己被告知将"不再参与公司或车队事务"。
他在周三的演讲中表示："我仍将留任公司，但在具体运营层面，指挥权将完成交接。"
这让我自己也感到震惊。
过去12小时里我得以静心思考，此刻站在诸位面前，既要宣布这一消息，也要向团队每一位成员表达由衷的感激——在过去二十载半的岁月中，你们倾注了太多心血。
20年前我刚到时，头上还没这么多白发。我加入了一支陌生的团队，起初不知未来如何，但立刻感受到了热情接纳。我们携手打造的队伍，最终成为了F1赛场的劲旅。
能够见证并成为这支团队的一员，是我此生最大的荣幸。
霍纳的离任——这一赛车界的重磅消息——正值红牛车队经历艰难时期。该车队两年前还统治着F1锦标赛，如今却已大幅落后于竞争对手。
目前该车队在制造商锦标赛中排名第四，落后于迈凯伦、梅赛德斯和法拉利，而其明星车手马克斯·维斯塔潘则在车手积分榜上位列第三。
霍纳离开车队之际，正值其女同事于2024年2月指控他行为不当事件过去一年。
霍纳（前辣妹组合成员杰里·霍纳的丈夫）始终否认对其的指控。这些指控在去年夏天上诉后被驳回。
红牛车队在宣布解雇霍纳的声明中并未说明其离职原因。
在霍纳的带领下，红牛车队共斩获124场分站赛胜利、107次杆位和287次登上领奖台，并赢得8次车手世界冠军和6次车队世界冠军。
红牛车队在一份声明中表示："我们要感谢克里斯蒂安·霍纳在过去20年中的杰出工作。
凭借其不懈的奉献精神、丰富的经验、专业的知识和创新的思维，他为红牛车队跻身一级方程式赛车（F1）最具成功魅力车队之列发挥了关键作用。
克里斯蒂安，感谢你所做的一切，你将永远是我们团队历史中的重要一员。
