Red Bull has not enjoyed a positive run of form of late, prompting a change in structure with Christian Horner exiting the team.
Former F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr claimed Red Bull had difficulty recruiting new staff due to concerns about the team environment. Recently, Red Bull announced a significant managerial change by parting ways with long-time team principal Christian Horner. The team’s struggles on the track coincide with rumors of Max Verstappen considering leaving, reportedly due to the challenge of attracting key engineers. Piquet Jr, Kelly’s brother, suggested that some staff didn’t mesh well with the team environment and faced obstacles under Horner’s leadership. Horner’s abrupt dismissal perhaps stemmed from his reluctance to share decision-making power within the organization, leading to a hefty payout. The situation with Red Bull’s staff recruitment and Verstappen’s potential departure appears to be more complex than solely being related to Max’s relationship with Horner.
