Martin Brundle Gives Insight on Christian Horner Red Bull Exit: 'Wasn't The Verstappens'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sky Sports Formula 1 commentator Martin Brundle offered additional information on Christian Horner's departure from Red Bull Racing. After more than 20 years at the helm of the team which he built, Horner was dismissed by the board and given his walking papers - ending a historic tenure in F1. The move came as a shock, especially considering the large amount of influence Horner gained over the years. It took place at the halfway point of the season, with few reports indicating that the move was coming.

"I've had a long chat with Christian, I've spoken to Jos Verstappen, and we've heard from Max ... it seems clear that it was a decision from Austria, it wasn't the Verstappens asking for this," Brundle said on Sky Sports. "Jos Verstappen's thrown a lot of hand grenades in, in the last 16 months, and some of them have gone off. He made it clear he thought Christian should move on from time to time. But it wasn't about the Verstappens. "It was the management in Austria looking to take back control of some of the commercial side of it. "Christian didn't want to let that go, because he thought in the round, the drivers, the cost cap, the sponsors, the employment of people was all one big story that he wanted to keep hold of, so they made that decision."

Harrington rides his luck with Aussies in hot pursuit
Padraig Harrington is the player to catch at the Senior British Open with a posse of Australians chasing and in contention midway through the tournament at Sunningdale. The Irishman shot a five-under-par 65 to be eight-under for a one-stroke lead over a hard-charging Thomas Bjorn and defending champion KJ Choi. Short game skills on display in Sunningdale 🫢@KJChoi_Golf and @Padraig_H both found the green after starting in the trees at No. 17 at the ISPS Handa Senior Open. 📺 Watch live now on Golf Channel. — PGA TOUR Champions (@ChampionsTour) July 25, 2025 The Dane shot a sterling seven-under 63 to catapult into contention, while Choi posted a 67. Australian Cameron Percy fired a five-under (65) to be on the next line with Justin Leonard (65), South African Ernie Els (67) and Ricardo Gonzalez of Argentina (67) at six under par. Percy eagled the par-five first on Friday before bookending a birdie at the third with bogeys on holes two and four. But he finished well with four more birdies to remain firmly in the mix. Steve Allan (67) is the next highest-placed Australian at five under, one ahead of compatriot Mark Hensby, who followed his 64 with a 72 to fall down the leaderboard at four under. Compatriot Greg Chalmers (66) is with Hensby with another six others in tied 10th at four under. Victorian Richard Green (69) and Queenslander Michael Wright (65) are a shot further back, tied 18th and five behind the lead. After his opening 63 for the overnight lead, New Zealander Steven Alker made a 73 to drop back to four under. Harrington had five birdies, including at the first and last holes, while keeping his scorecard clean of bogeys. Harrington is trying to become the fifth player to win the British Open and the Senior British Open. "I rode my luck a lot today," Harrington said. "Got my head in the game. Did a lot of good stuff mentally. Short game was sharp." "Hit some recovery shots and managed my game, but I never showed much confidence out there at all in my swing. I obviously like these 72-hole ones, and the bigger golf courses suit me." The Senior British Open is the fifth major on the PGA Tour Champions. The regular tournaments are 54 holes. Harrington won the US Senior Open at The Broadmoor in Colorado. The Irishman has already collected two other senior major titles - the 2022 and 2025 US Senior Opens. Bjorn admitted he was "very angry" with himself over a ho-hum first round, which ended with a double bogey. Choi could have been higher up the leaderboard if not for consecutive bogeys at Nos. 16-17 taking him down a few pegs. with AP

Deadline SET for Liverpool forward deal
Chiesa wanted by Napoli One of those touted for a sale has been Federico Chiesa. The 27-year-old appears to be surplus to requirements following a poor first season on Merseyside. He has been left out of Liverpool's preseason tour as he and his representatives attempt to secure a move away. Several teams in Italy - most notably Atalanta and AC Milan - are reported to be interested in the winger. And now it's emerged that Napoli have not gone away - despite reports that they would be seeking a deal for Dan Ndoye of Bologna instead. Chiesa - along with Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling - remain on Napoli's radar as a potential Plan B in case a deal for Ndoye cannot be done. July 30 the deadline for Chiesa deal And Antonio Conte's side are seeking to wrap up this transfer quickly. A report in Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Conte wants his squad complete by July 30 for his team's preseason training camp at Castel di Sangro. 'Chiesa hasn't been called up by Liverpool for their tour of Asia, and his time in England already seems to be coming to an end. Napoli could offer him the chance to redeem himself, provided the winger reduces his salary demands,' a report reads. Chiesa is making around £120k per week on a contract until 2028 - and Italian sides have previously been put off by those demands. © IMAGO - Arne Slot Federico Chiesa Liverpool 2024-25 Back in January, plenty of interest in Chiesa materialised from Serie A when it became clear that he was homesick. Despite the attentions of the aforementioned teams - as well as Roma and Inter - Chiesa stayed at Anfield. In all he played only SIX times in the Premier League - to no great effect - and barely impressed in his other outings either. If Liverpool can make back the £12.5m or so they paid to Juventus last September - and a resolution can be found over his wages - then expect to see Chiesa leave as soon as this week.
