The ongoing saga involving Christian Horner and Red Bull is far from over, and it is expected to have more twists and turns 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 started circulating in the paddock that there is a desire to remove him from the team. Now, Horner has responded to the situation unfolding in Milton Keynes.
Even before the race, there were multiple reports suggesting that Max Verstappen’s father wanted Horner out of the team. However, a new report claims that according to the 51-year-old, Red Bull is falling apart because of Horner. This has caught the attention of Damon Hill, the 1996 world champion, who has shared his thoughts on the matter.
Hill took to social media to express his views on the situation. The 63-year-old stated that the feud between Jos Verstappen and Horner has become clear. Jos Verstappen has stated that if Horner remains in the team, internal conflicts will cause members to leave. Hill’s tweet suggests that at least one part of the puzzle has been solved.
This development comes at a time when Verstappen is being linked to a potential 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, the Red Bull board may soon face a difficult decision if these issues persist.
Following the leak of investigation documents by an anonymous source, several team principals have called on the FIA to intervene and conduct their own investigation. Two of these team bosses are yet to be named. They have demanded a new investigation as Red Bull initially refused to share the documents. This has led to criticism in the paddock regarding the lack of transparency in such a sensitive situation.
However, despite the ongoing controversy, the teams are preparing for the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. All eyes will be on the reigning champions’ base as this saga continues to unfold.
