Helmut Markꦉo has delivered an update on the alleged “power struggleꦜ” at Red Bull involving Christian Horner.

Team principal and chief ex🉐ecutive Horner continues to count on suppor🐈t from the Thai majority shareholders, after being cleared of wrongdoing in an investigation into his behaviour towards a female colleague.

The futures of Max Verstappen and veteran advisor Marko came under unexpeꩵcted scrutiny, as a result, and the star driver pledged loyalty to his long-term ally.

Ahead of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix this weekend, Red Bull cannot rid themseꦏlves of claims that internal drama is spiralling.

Marko, 80, was asked about the current status of the iss♓ues at Red Bull, and told : “Basically it's about bringing calm to the team. And that is urgently needed.

“As we saw in Australia, if we don't deliver, Ferrari is ♈there.

“Other fac𝓰tors also played a role, but the goal has to be the fourth title in a row. Everything else is subordinate to that.”

Marko was quizzed about a ‘power struggle’ inside F1’s🎶 do🍃minant team.

“That's♑ politics that I'm not concerned with at the mome🍨nt,” he insisted.

“It's all about winning the next world title.”

Marko insisted that Verstappen’s form in 2024 - three grand prix victories out of four, only marred by a rare DNF in Australia - should be rౠated higher due to the turmoil within Red Bull.

“He's just so incredibly focused,” Marko said.

“He doesn't need a🅰 team ꦰaround him to help him in these situations.

“He is an exception a💛nd is just 27 years old. He does his own thing anyway and that's a good thing.”

Verstappen launched a passionaཧte defence of Marko’s future at the F1 team inꦦ Saudi Arabia, when his place was called into question amid the Horner controversy.

“That was a really bꦉig sign of loya🍎lty,” Marko said.

“I absolutely don't take tha♕t for granted, ꦜespecially in this day and age.”

Changes continue at Red B🐠ull after the 2022 death of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz.

Thoms Uberall has been installed as the new managing director of the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austriꦅa, 𝔉where F1 will visit in June.

“I've known hi🐓m for a very long time, actually since he enter♒ed Formula 1,” Marko said.

“He has an incredible resume, with many🎐 stations in motorsport, especially in MotoGP.

“He has also worked on many projects in the past and is a dream solution for Red Bull as he was al✃so closely linked to Dietrich Mateschitz.”
