Red Bull political drama speculation pits Christian Horner against Helmut Marko for $10m decision

report that Red Bull have been in “turmoil” since the passing of its co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, because its Thai sh𒊎areholders have begun interfering more since Ma🅘rk Mateschitz took over.
While the F1 team have enjoyed nothing but glory - claiming the constructors’ and the drivers’ championshipsꦇ this season - this claim suggests that there are some problems to fix in ﷺthe background.
Ther♈e is now “tension” between team principal Horner and Marko, who was Dietrich Mateschitz’s right-hand man, it is reported.

“Horner has been 🐟trying to get rid of Marko for some time t𒊎o control the group's operation in Formula 1 as a whole,” the Brazilian newspaper wrote.
Horner also wants rid of ๊Yuki Tsunoda, the AlphaTauri driver, a decision which would require Honda to write a cheque of $10m.
“Something Marko has been trying to prevent to av🍸oid future friction with the engine supplier,” it is reported.
Marko “is in seriou🌼s danger of losing his position” with a meeting scheduled for the coming week to decide, the report alleges.
As well as Horner wanting him gone, Oliver Mintzlaff (who joined Red Bull after Mat🥃eschitz’s death) also wants to move Marko on♉.
