The ongoing saga involving Christian Horner and Red Bull is far from over, and more twists are expected in the coming weeks. Before the first race in Bahrain, it was announced that Horner had been cleared of any wrongdoing by the parent company. However, rumors began circulating in the paddock that there is a desire to remove him from the team. Now, Horner has responded to the unfolding situation in Milton Keynes.
Even before the race, there were several reports suggesting that Max Verstappen’s father wanted Horner to leave the team. However, a new report claims that, according to Horner himself, Red Bull is falling apart because of him. This caught the attention of Damon Hill, the 1996 world champion, who shared his thoughts on the matter.
Hill took to social media to express his opinions on the situation. The 63-year-old man stated that the dispute between Jos Verstappen and Horner has become clear. Jos Verstappen claimed that if Horner remains on the team, internal conflicts will cause members to leave. Hill’s tweet suggests that at least part of the puzzle has been solved.
This development comes at a time when Verstappen is being linked to a possible move to Red Bull’s main rivals. It is believed that Verstappen may consider this move to escape the drama and politics within the Austrian team. As a result, Red Bull’s board may soon face a tough decision if these issues persist.
After the leak of investigation documents by an anonymous source, several team principals have asked the FIA to intervene and conduct their own investigation. Two of these team principals have not yet been named. They demanded a new investigation as Red Bull initially refused to share the documents. This led to criticism in the paddock regarding the lack of transparency in such a sensitive situation.
However, despite the ongoing controversy, teams are gearing up for the next Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. All eyes will be on the reigning champions’ base as this saga continues to unfold.
