In the middle of a 2025 season full of challenges for Red Bull Racing, the team director, Christian Horner, has reaffirmed his position at the head of the team, while Pirelli announces the introduction of the new C6 tire compound, designed specifically for the urban circuit of Formula 1.
Despite the rumors that suggested a possible dismissal of Christian Horner after the Gran of Emilia Romaña, Red Bull has flatly denied such reports. The team has expressed confidence in Horner, who has led the team since 2005, achieving multiple constructs and pilot championships.
Horner has faced criticism due to the exit of key figures such as Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley, as well as the decrease in equipment performance compared to rivals such as McLaren. However, he emphasized that Red Bull is not in crisis and that internal conversations are part of the normal process of continuous improvement.
In response to the growing number of urban circuits in the Formula 1 calendar, Pirelli has developed a new tire compound, the C6, which will be implemented in the 2025 season. This softer compound is designed to adapt to the unique conditions of urban clues, offering better performance and more varied career strategies.
Mario Isola, director of Motorsport of Pirelli, explained that the C6 seeks to better manage the overheating of the tires in urban circuits, while maintaining adequate degradation to allow various career strategies. This could influence the decisions of equipment on stops in boxes and tactics during races.
With the introduction of the new C6 compound and the reaffirmation of the leadership of Horner, Red Bull seeks to recover its dominant position in Formula 1. The 2025 season presents significant challenges, but the team trusts its ability to adapt and compete at the highest level.
The combination of strategic changes in the team and technological advances in the tires promises an exciting and competitive season for Formula 1 fans.
