Red Bull’s to⭕p boss has set the record straight on claims about the difficult relationship between Christian Horner and Helmut Marko.

Horner and Marko were at the centre of the inter🏅nal challenges that Reಞd Bull’s F1 team faced a year ago.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s future with the team is still being quest🔜ioned because theꦰir car’s performance has declined since then.

But Oliver Mintzlaff, the managing director of the F1 team’s parent company Red Bull GmbH,ꦑ has been questioned about whether Horner and Marko are still “tense” after las꧋t year’s difficulties.

Mintzlaff told : “I have full confidence in every single employee. This also applies to our management♛ team. “Helmut and Christian both want maximum success and subordinate e🔯verything to it. We have also discussed this again in the past few days.”

Christian Horner v Helmut Marko 'not a dream marriage'

It was put to M𝓀intzlaff that Horner and Marko’s relationship was not a “dream marriage”.

He reღplied: “It's clear that every relationship has ups and do🐼wns.

“It should not be forgotte𒉰n that the two will have their 400th race together at the next Grand Prix i🎶n Miami.

“Helmut was the one who hired Christian inᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ 2005. The two have an incredible amount in commꦜon.

“It is clear that with all the pressure, emotions and passio🉐n, emotions can s💙ometimes boil up.

“But then you have to sit down together and discuss it behind closed doors. And that's wh🍸at we do.”

Red Bull will head into next 🔯weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix somewhat buoyed by their performance last time out in Saudi Arabia.

Verstappen stunned in qualifying to take pole positionಌ but was hit with a five-second time penalty early in the grand prix for an incident with Oscar Piastri.

McLaren’s Piastri won his second consecutive race and now leads the drivers’ championship, leaving Red Bull insisting Verstappen’s punishment - which largely ended his h🌜opes of winning - was too harsh.

But Verstappen did prove he could be competitive with the McLarens over the course of a weekend which will be a much-needed boos🔯t to Red Bull as rumours swir𝕴l about his future.
