Red Bull's off-track focus has been on restoring peace and order within the ranks, which is understood to have been achieved...
Christian Horner and Max Verstappen converse in the Red Bull garage at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
But this didn’t cool tensions, with Max Verstappen’s father Jos publicly calling for Horner’s job as he insisted the team risked “exploding” if Horner remained at the helm of the team. Since that weekend, the employee at the centre of the accusations against Horner has appointed a new legal team and has gone to the FIA to appeal against the outcome of Red Bull’s investigation, which was carried out by an external barrister with no connections to Red Bull – the identity of the KC has not been made public.
Some inaccurate media reports suggested Horner would not make it to the Australian Grand Prix as team boss, having lost the backing of majority shareholder Chalerm Yoovidhya. With Marko remaining at Red Bull and not under suspension, Verstappen’s future is seemingly no longer in question. PlanetF1.com also understands that a contract clause, inserted into Verstappen’s contract that allows him to leave if Marko’s tenure ends, does exist, and was supposedly inserted without the knowledge of Horner or other senior members of the parent company – achievable through Marko’s position as a director of Red Bull Racing.
