Another idea has been put forward by Ralf Schumacher for the excdus of Red Bull senior staff.
Ralf Schumacher believes that the recent departure of senior staff from the Red Bull F1 team is not directly related to team boss Christian Horner. There were tensions at the start of the season after Horner was accused of inappropriate behavior, but no direct connection to the exits of key personnel. A power struggle within the team emerged during the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekends, involving different factions within the organization. Despite a truce being called, significant figures such as Adrian Newey, Jonathan Wheatley, and Will Courtenay have left Red Bull for other opportunities. Schumacher suggests that the exits were driven more by individuals seeking personal improvement and external financial offers rather than directly by Horner’s leadership. The absence of the late Red Bull owner, Dietrich Mateschitz’s strong influence from the top down, may also be a contributing factor to the shifts within the team dynamic.
