Add to that, Horner's comments post Daniel to Renault announcement, where he said that one of the reasons DR is leaving is because he is scared of competition from Max. Even though DR was offered exactly the same pay and conditions as Max, and CH also went on to say DR might regret his decision. Low blow that from Horner, and uncalled for, specially as those comments were made after Ricciardo had released a video where he thanked Red Bull, and was appreciative of their 10 year journey together.
I sincerely hope that Renault and McLaren are podium contenders next season. As long as they are both ahead of Red Bull, that would be pretty good. Pretty awesome even.

Sadly, making snipey comments seem to be the way that Red Bull operate. Look at the way they've dealt with Renault over the years. It's strange as Christian Horner always appears quite pleasant when interviewed on the TV (or asked for comments from the pit wall during the race), but also seems very skilled calculated nasty comment (like saying he could think of nothing good that had happened during their relationship with Renault, despite the World Championships!).
