The scandalous saga has overshadowed Formula 1 since it erupted on the day Red Bull revealed their dominant RB20 car for Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez. Throughout this time, Horner has faced a significant power struggle for control of the racing team.
Despite allegations of trying to silence his female colleague with hush money, Horner has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Although an internal investigation by Red Bull supposedly cleared the team boss of any blame, the accuser is not satisfied with the outcome and has launched an appeal. She is reportedly unhappy about not receiving the full dossier of explicit messages before the internal investigation reached a conclusion.
Given this tumultuous scenario, there is still uncertainty regarding Horner’s presence in Melbourne. Furthermore, rumors suggest that Mercedes is on the verge of poaching Verstappen away from Red Bull, which could also lead to the departure of their most valuable asset, Adrian Newey.
During an interview with the media team BetIdeas, Herbert expressed his thoughts on the Horner scandal and its impact on the sport’s reputation, as well as on Red Bull as a team. He stated: “The ongoing situation and intense scrutiny surrounding it are damaging to Formula 1. This is not good for Red Bull, who currently have the best driver in the world. However, Christian’s stubbornness in persisting exacerbates the issue, putting the future of Red Bull at risk.”
Herbert emphasized that Horner, who played a crucial role in building Red Bull, is now dangerously close to contributing to its destruction. This is a major disappointment considering the team’s immense popularity worldwide, with Max Verstappen leading the charge. Herbert believes the focus should be solely on the drivers on the track, and not on the spectacle of Christian Horner.
The “Horner Show”, with Christian Horner and Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, was impossible to ignore over the weekend in the Jeddah paddock. This deliberate display of unity, resembling a parody of a harmonious marriage, showed a resolute Horner accompanied by a seemingly perplexed and bewildered Spice Girl. The whole affair seemed forced and artificial.
It is quite a bold statement for a British Formula 1 analyst to say “Horner out” in such a way. Recently, Herbert, a former Formula 1 winner, has been excluded by major British media outlets such as the BBC, Channel 4, and Sky, possibly because he speaks his mind rather than conforming to their agenda.
However, in the eyes of independent media sources, Johnny’s opinions still carry weight, as do the viewpoints of Jacques Villeneuve, Tiff Needell, Mark Blundell, and others we reference on this platform. They are all united by their lack of affiliations and willingness to express their true feelings.
Herbert may be the first respected British Formula 1 media commentator to openly suggest that Horner’s time at Red Bull is running out, as indicated above. However, he is not alone in this belief, as fellow Grand Prix winner Ralf Schumacher, in German media circles, echoed Johnny’s sentiments.
Schumacher went so far as to imply that Horner is playing the victim card to protect his reputation and career, even if it comes at the expense of the Red Bull Formula 1 team.
Meanwhile, the third stage of the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship, the Australian Grand Prix, will take place this weekend at Albert Park in Melbourne. Statistics show that Red Bull has completely dominated the first two stages, with Verstappen and Perez aiming for a third consecutive victory this weekend Down Under.
