Tensions at Red Bull
“I hope the turbulence ends soon.” As Helmut Marko expressed the hope that Red Bull will soon find peace after the fuss raised by the internal investigation against team principal Christian Horner for “transgressive behavior” towards an employee.
Tonight at 8.30pm Italian time Red Bull will unveil the RB20 who carried out a shakedown with both drivers on Tuesday in the rain at Silverstone and Christian Horner, present on the wall two days ago, will be regularly in his place after having had an 8-hour interview last Friday with the lawyers to whom Red Bull has entrusted with the investigation to clarify what happened.
Second Bernie Ecclestone Horner is being the victim of 'political' machinations within Red Bull itself by exponents who see in the death of Dietrich Mateschitz – dating back to 16 months ago – the opportunity to climb the hierarchies and occupy a place in the sun within of the Milton Keynes team, which was compared to the famous 'Game of Thrones' series already by Daniil Kvyat when the Russian driver was replaced in 2016 by Max Verstappen after just four races.
“I believe there is someone within Red Bull who wants to oust Horner – said Bernie Ecclestone interviewed by the news agency AFP – Mateschitz's death has created a void and a reshuffle at top management level, a favorable situation for those who have ambitions to climb the hierarchies of the Red Bull organization chart. When you have great success it is normal to have many enemies, what in my opinion Horner must do is keep his head down and continue a job that has brought success not only to Red Bull, but to the entire world of F1.”
