Red Bull has been embroiled in controversy across the past two months.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has emphasized that team decisions in F1 will not be based solely on Max Verstappen’s opinions. Despite facing off-track controversies, Verstappen has achieved two wins out of two races at the start of his quest for a fourth consecutive Drivers’ title. Allegations of inappropriate behavior involving Horner have surfaced, leading to speculation about potential suspensions that were later dispelled. Verstappen showed strong support for Horner amid these controversies. Horner highlighted that while they value Verstappen’s input, decisions are always made with the team’s best interests in mind, covering areas from strategy to sponsorships. Helmut Marko’s future as a consultant and advisor to Red Bull was clarified, emphasizing the essential roles each team member plays and the stability that has been a key factor in the team’s success.
