Red Bull boss Christian Horner deserves “credit” for how he handled the problems that he experienced during the 2024 F1 season, according to Guenther Steiner.
Horner faced numerous challenges over the past year, with key staff leaving the Red Bull team he has led since the beginning, including Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley. The team struggled in the season, especially Max Verstappen, who couldn’t secure a fourth straight World Championship due to an uncompetitive car. There were also internal investigations regarding allegations against Horner, which added to the difficulties. Steiner, who worked with Horner in the past, believes that people underestimated the tough year Horner had, and it will be a challenge to rebuild the team with the loss of key personnel. New hires could potentially breathe new life into the team, but replacing talents like Newey will be a significant task for Red Bull and Horner.
