Outgoing Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has alleged that Christian Horner played “dirty games” in a bid to get him ousted from his role at the F1 team.
Outgoing Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has accused Team Principal Christian Horner of playing “dirty games” to push him out of his role at the Formula 1 team. Marko, who had been with the team for over two decades, announced his departure earlier this month. Despite leading Red Bull to numerous titles alongside Horner, he claimed that Horner was aiming to take over the team’s leadership as Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz’s health declined. Marko revealed that Horner had allegedly manipulated information and twisted Marko’s words to have him suspended from the team. The relationship between the two deteriorated over the years, culminating in Marko’s exit and Horner’s subsequent departure amid internal power struggles. Following Horner’s exit, Marko hinted at a more positive atmosphere under the new boss, Laurent Mekies, contrasting it with the tense environment during his time with Horner.
