Are Red Bull really fixed? Vettel on life after Horner
It has been four months since Christian Horner was removed as Red Bull’s team principal, following a turbulent year of poor performance on the track and off-field controversies.
After Horner’s departure, the team saw improvements under the leadership of Max Verstappen and new team principal Laurent Mekies.
Despite the positive changes, former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel remains skeptical about whether the issues that led to Horner’s exit have been fully addressed.
Vettel, who won four world titles with Horner, expressed surprise at the decision and believes that Horner’s departure left significant voids within the team.
While Mekies has shown promise, Vettel emphasizes the need to wait and see how the team evolves under his leadership before making definitive judgments.
Verstappen’s challenge in chasing a fifth consecutive world title is still ongoing, with Mekies at the helm as he aims to surpass Vettel’s previous achievements at Red Bull.
