An interesting comparison from Helmut Marko, it seems he must be a football fan!
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko compared Christian Horner’s departure to a football coach leaving their club, following a low downforce setup gamble that backfired at the British Grand Prix. Max Verstappen’s pole position turned into a 10th-place finish due to the undriveable car in the wet. Horner led Red Bull Racing for over 20 years since its inception in F1, with his final race being Silverstone. Marko sees similarities between F1 and football in the necessity for change when things don’t work out. Horner was swiftly replaced by Laurent Mekies, who Marko praises for a smooth transition and people skills ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.
