The drama at the Dominator over the past two seasons is being closely followed by Ferrari, especially in Maranello. After the Hamilton transfer, is Red CEO John Elkann (47) planning further steps that would completely change the balance of power in Formula 1?
Ferrari CEO Elkaan attacks
At Red Bull, the tree is burning internally – and who will leave the sinking ship? Pierre Waché (49, Fr) is said to be on his way to Italy. The Frenchman is the right-hand man of super guru Adrian Newey (63) and official technical director.
Even Newey (over 200 GP victories with Williams, McLaren and Red Bull) would have had enough and will curse the two Ferrari rejections in recent years. Is the secret king of Formula 1 leaving now?
Horner also with a red offer
And even Horner was on Ferrari’s wish list two years ago (together with Seidl) when they were still secretly looking for Mattia Binotto’s successor. Both refused – and only then did Vasseur enter the game as the third man.
Ferrari, which has been without a drivers’ title since 2007, and Räikkönen could be the big beneficiaries if their main rival splits.
Max stopped the power struggle
Three months ago there was already a power struggle in the team between Horner and sports director Helmut Marko (80), as a result of which Vettel (2010 to 2013) and Verstappen (2021 to 2023) became world champions.
At that point, the Dutch superstar, who is clearly on Marko’s side, intervened: “It’s calm now. It’s a joke if you start to tear yourself apart in such a successful team.” Now Horner would have caused an avalanche with his “inappropriate behavior”, according to the prosecutor.
There’s probably a woman involved
Apparently this was caused by a member of the team. The fact that the mysterious story then started in De Telegraaf is a deep insight.
Horner was questioned by an independent lawyer in London on Friday. But Red Bull is still keeping a low profile ahead of the team presentation on Thursday.
Now Mintzlaff has to fix it
The German Mateschitz successor in Formula 1, Oliver Mintzlaff (48), probably now speaks the power. He was director of football at Red Bull Leipzig. He now has the difficult task of miraculously saving the cut tablecloth.
But how? Horner (team boss since the start of Red Bull in 2005) is also fighting internally against snipers. And the Verstappen clan and Marko would continue to make life difficult for him.
Hamilton sends his regards
And because at the moment and in the near future everything is possible in Formula 1 and if Horner is acquitted, even a dismissal or a move to Mercedes by Max Verstappen (26) would not come as a surprise. Hamilton sends his regards.
