Marko severely criticised by team bosses as Horner addresses comments
Christian Horner addressed Helmut Marko’s recent controversial comments about Sergio Perez, acknowledging that the remarks were inappropriate. Marko was forced to apologize for suggesting that Perez’s performance was affected by his “South American” mindset, ignoring the fact that Mexico is in North America. Perez confirmed that he received a personal apology from Marko. Horner explained that Red Bull Racing couldn’t take action against Marko since he is not an employee of the team, but of the wider Red Bull group. Other team bosses, including Zak Brown, Guenther Steiner, and Toto Wolff, expressed their criticism of Marko’s words, emphasizing the need for respect, inclusivity, and diversity in Formula 1.
