Horner and Marko feud: Red Bull boss weighs in after ‘liar’ claims
Red Bull GmbH boss Oliver Mintzlaff has commented on the feud between former key figures of the F1 team, stating his disagreement with Helmut Marko’s remarks about Christian Horner.
Marko, who recently left the team after 20 years, made sharp accusations about Horner, alleging that he lied about everything and aimed to take over the team in his final years.
Horner was removed from his role as Red Bull team principal as the team prepares for a new era under Laurent Mekies, focusing on power unit production and regulatory changes.
Despite their successful partnership from 2005-2025, which brought six constructors’ titles and eight drivers’ championships, Mintzlaff emphasized the need for change and declined to take sides.
Marko’s allegations against Horner included claims of deceptive behavior and power-seeking tendencies following the passing of Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz.
