Red Bull in chaos: Christian Horner and Helmut Marko also tremble
Red Bull in chaos, and at the expense this time could be absolutely apex figures in the Anglo-Austrian stable. With Max Verstappen increasingly central to the team’s logic, despite the fact that his contract for the future is anything but set in stone, the driver pinwheel that has seen Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda as the latest protagonists could soon affect top executives as well. Like, even, Christian Horner or Helmut Marko.
The sensational hypothesis is drawn from the press in two of the European countries closest to Red Bull dynamics: the’England and the’Netherlands. Indeed, it was the ‘Daily Mail’ that spoke of an increasingly red-hot climate within the team that has dominated Formula 1 for the past three-plus years. And, among the political turmoil that is running through it, there’s also the weight of Max Verstappen and his entourage. That would see among those responsible for the current mess is Christian Horner himself, the team principal of all the world victories of the past 15 years.
Verstappen is described as particularly annoyed by Lawson’s rejection, a version also confirmed by ‘GPBlog’. Both sources say, however, that Marko also bears responsibility for the many problems that all Red Bull second guides have gone through since Daniel Ricciardo’s farewell. And indeed, the Austrian consultant is also at the center of criticism.
The Dutch of the ‘De Limburger’, the first media outlet ever to report on Tsunoda’s arrival in place of Lawson at Red Bull, are also talking about it. And that this time he explains that only a Marko farewell could allow the Milton Keynes stable to overcome the’current state of confusion. The final decision rests with ownership, but it is clear that any decision could also clearly determine the future of Max Verstappen himself.
