It was at that moment that Geri, in a direct manner, confirmed the prediction she had made: “I said they were going to fire you.” The episode sheds light on Horner’s personal side during a period of great tension at Red Bull, when the future of his leadership was called into question.

The series also reveals other intimate moments of Horner, including an exchange of messages with Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, after his dismissal.
