Christian Horner appeared to break down in tears as he delivered an emotional speech to Red Bull staff following his shock sacking. Horner addressed his staff at a speech captured by Sky Sports on Wednesday (9 July).

Longtime Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been fired after a 20-year stint that included eight Formula 1 drivers' titles.
