Horner reveals why Red Bull F1 issued no statement on Marko
Marko received criticism for making a racially insensitive comment about Perez’s performance, but he publicly apologized and privately discussed the matter with Perez. Horner, the team principal, defended Perez and expressed his support for him. Lewis Hamilton condemned Marko’s comments and called for further action to be taken. Red Bull has not released an official statement as Marko is not part of the racing side of the company, but the broader Red Bull Group has issued a comment. Looking ahead to the race, Horner expects a tough battle with Ferrari and Mercedes at the Marina Bay Circuit. Red Bull has yet to comply with the regulation requiring them to give practice sessions to a rookie driver, and possible candidates for later in the year include Jake Dennis and Isack Hadjar.
