P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Red Bull boss has directly addressed the suggestion he is trying to remove long-time advisor Helmut Marko from his role.
Christian Horner has denied any speculation about trying to remove Dr. Helmut Marko from Red Bull, stating that there is no power struggle within the team. Brazilian media had suggested that there would be a summit to discuss Marko’s future at the United States Grand Prix, but Marko himself stated that he would only step back when he personally decides to do so. Marko, who is not a direct employee of Red Bull Racing, now reports to Oliver Mintzlaff after the passing of Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz in October 2022. Horner and Marko have a strong and open relationship, with regular discussions on all aspects of the team’s operations, and there is no intention to change Marko’s role within the team as long as he wants to continue. They have worked effectively as partners for many years, each playing their own specific role.
