I couldn't have dreamed of this when joining @fiaformulae and have been super fortunate to be in great cars fighting for wins and championships. Thanks to @jaguarracing for the last 3 seasons. It's been a privilege to drive for Jaguar and our race team – and I sincerely wish them all the best in the future, knowing they will be tough competitors. ' Adding a mention of his Jaguar teammate, Cassidy wrote, 'A big shoutout to my mate @mitchevans_ as well. He's an unbelievable talent who I've learnt a lot from over the years and will be World Champion one day. This weekend he took one for me when he was the faster car in qualifying. Thanks to everyone for their messages and words of support during the season – it hasn't gone unnoticed and is very much appreciated. I will see you on the grid in São Paulo in December.

Nick Cassidy bids Jaguar farewell, celebrates with girlfriend Nathalia Soliani at London E-Prix afterparty
Nick Cassidy with girlfriend Nathalia Soliani (Image credit: Instagram) Nick Cassidy raced for the final time with Jaguar TCS Racing on Sunday, ending on a high with three consecutive wins. After winning the Berlin E-Prix Part 1 and clinching victory in both races of the London double-header, Cassidy officially bid farewell to Jaguar TCS Racing. He later shared a glimpse of his model girlfriend Nathalia Soliani at the afterparty, where she joined him in the celebrations. Nathalia Soliani joins London E-Prix winner Nick Cassidy in celebrations Taking to Instagram Stories, Nick Cassidy posted a picture of himself with Nathalia Soliani, posing as a couple at the afterparty. While he was dressed in a black suit, she complemented him in a bold black gown. Nick Cassidy and Nathalia Soliani (Image credit: Instagram) Cassidy's third consecutive win was enough to move him past TAG Heuer Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein, who had held second place in the Formula E Drivers' Standings for several months. This result secured Cassidy second place in the FIA Drivers' World Championship at a packed ExCeL Arena in London. Speaking about his London victory, Cassidy said, 'Honestly, I love racing in this place! It's not been that kind to me in the last few years, but this weekend it's absolutely delivered. When this stadium is packed full of people, it's a pleasure to race here and it's great for Formula E.' He added, 'Also, it's my last race for the team. Again, I had the best car today, and this one is 100% for them. When the tyres are working well and the car's perfect, everything becomes efficient. It wasn't easy at the start to keep the lead, but I think between Mitch [Evans] and myself, we managed it well. I'm gutted for him—having a one-two would have been perfect.' Jaguar bids farewell to Nick Cassidy Following the London E-Prix, Jaguar shared a special poster of Nick Cassidy to bid him farewell. It was posted on Instagram with the caption: 'Three wins in a row secures @nickcassidy_ 2nd place in the Drivers' World Championship. What a way to end the season, Cass.' Another post simply read: 'Thank you, Nick.'

How much did Christian Horner make as Red Bull chief before dismissal?
Christian Horner's 20-year stint as Ream Bull team principal came to an end on Wednesday as he was sacked by the Formula One behemoths. It has been an incredibly successful time for the team under Horner's leadership, winning eight Drivers' World Championship titles and six Constructors' Championships since he took over in 2005. He became embroiled in controversy last year when allegations were made of inappropriate behaviour towards a female colleague. Horner was, however, cleared of all wrongdoing after internal investigations into the accusations. The 51-year-old continued in his role at the head of Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen won his fourth world title last year, but the performances of the team have dipped since then. After 12 races this year, lead driver Verstappen has won just two and sits third in the drivers' standings, behind McLaren paid Oscar Pisatri and Lando Norris. Red Bull are down in fourth in the Constructors' Championship standings, already nearly 300 points behind leaders McLaren. The Times reported in 2024 that Horner's salary had increased from £8.04million in 2022 to £8.92million in 2023. The same publication now reports that Horner's contract with Red Bull was due to run until 2030 and was worth £12m a year. The statement from Red Bull gave little away, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today (Wednesday 9 July 2025) and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull's chief executive of corporate projects and investments, added: '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 for ever remain an important part of our team history.' Sky Sports report that not even Horner knows why the motivation for his release as he told Martin Brundle 'no reason was given to him' for the decision. More Trending The BBC report that Horner's sacking 'follows months of declining form for the team and internal disputes at the highest level.' His departure also comes amid speculation that Verstappen is set to leave Red Bull for Mercedes after talks were held over a blockbuster move for the world champion. Whether Horner's departure accelerates that possibility or improves Red Bull's chances of keeping the Dutchman is yet to be seen.
