Amidst internal conflicts within the Red Bull team, the standout player has shown unwavering loyalty. Max Verstappen, along with Helmut Marko and Christian Horner, has expressed his commitment to the team, emphasizing the importance of Marko’s presence for his future at Red Bull. Despite the risks and possible consequences, Verstappen firmly believes he cannot move forward without Marko’s guidance.
Red Bull has been facing internal political problems and power struggles for a considerable period of time. The situation escalated when news of an investigation involving the team emerged. According to internal sources, the racing team is trying to oust the Austrian Red Bull with the help of their Thai shareholders. This directly threatens the position of the team advisor, Marko, who is concerned about the possibility of being dismissed. However, Verstappen, the team’s key player, has shown unwavering loyalty to Marko.
The current world champion, Helmut Marko, has made significant contributions to the team and deserves respect for his loyalty and integrity, according to Verstappen. The advisor plays a crucial role within the team, and Verstappen believes the team would face significant challenges if Marko were to leave.
The Red Bull team has been overshadowed by controversy involving the team principal in recent times. In early February, the Red Bull team principal faced allegations of inappropriate and controlling behavior by a staff member. An external lawyer was hired to conduct an investigation. Although Horner was cleared before the Bahrain GP, the situation escalated with the emergence of leaked evidence. The evidence was also sent to Verstappen’s father, causing him to express concerns about the possibility of the team falling apart.
Amidst the chaos surrounding controversy and internal power struggles, current world champion Max Verstappen wishes for a peaceful environment within the team. The ongoing turbulence has affected him, and he desires a harmonious workplace for everyone involved. Whether this will be achieved or not remains uncertain.
