On Thursday Red Bull presented the design of the new F1 car.

Technology guru Adrian Newey (65) said on Thursday before the presentation of the new RB20: “We have had to live with the fact that our car is copied for years. I often have to smile when I walk through the starting grid before a race.”

But bad copies almost never win races!

What really happened?

It was no longer a surprise that team boss Christian Horner (50) was also present at the presentation in Milton Keynes. The Brit has been in the news for two weeks because he was accused of “inappropriate behavior” towards a woman within the team.

Even after external investigation, what this was really about remains behind Red Bull’s factory walls, which wasn’t exactly a smart move and got the rumor mill spinning.

“I had to protect myself!”

Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone (93), who was accused by the German media of advising his witness to resign, told Blick: “I had to officially protect myself from the false statements.”

And what about a possible dismissal? Ecclestone: “If Horner was on the podium at the launch of the new car, he will probably continue. You can’t wait a few more weeks and then throw it away.’

The Wolffs had already been blackened

Red Bull must finally provide clarity about the follow-up to the Horner case with a statement. The team of recent years (total of 369 races, 113 victories and 7 driver titles) has certainly been affected by this case.

In December 2023, Susie and Toto Wolff made negative headlines because the FIA ​​employee and the Mercedes team boss allegedly leaked secret information. The charges evaporated after a few days.

But the damage almost always lingers with the blackened people for a long time – as in normal life. Even if they are innocent.

Alonso or Albon will come in 2025

It is now interesting to see how the Verstappen clan (Max and Jos) and team leader Marko behave towards the weakened team boss. Will the confident winning streak of the Bulls and Verstappen (19 wins in 2023) be stopped?

For Segio Pérez (34) it would normally be the year of farewell. The Mexican has to go. Albon and Alonso are on the A-list at Red Bull.
