Christian Horner ‘Red Bull takeover’ plan revealed
Former Red Bull F1 motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has accused former team principal Christian Horner of allegedly attempting to take over the team following the death of founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022.
Marko and Horner, who had been with the team since its inception in 2005, recently left in the space of six months, with tensions reportedly rising towards the end of their tenure.
Marko revealed in an interview with De Telegraaf that Horner tried to align himself with Chalerm Yoovidhya, co-owner of Red Bull GmbH, to assume control after Mateschitz’s passing.
Despite the internal turmoil, Red Bull has moved on with Laurent Mekies taking over as team principal and rumors suggesting Sebastian Vettel could fill Marko’s advisor role.
Looking ahead, the team is preparing for a new era with a fresh approach and a new power unit partnership with Ford as they aim to remain competitive in Formula 1.
