Now it’s happening at Red Bull: is team leader Marko being kicked out by team boss Horner?

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Just like at the start of the World Cup in Bahrain, world champions Verstappen (Red Bull) and Leclerc (Ferrari) will start from the front row of the Saudi Arabia GP on Saturday at 6 p.m. And Sainz will be replaced by F2 star Oliver Bearman (18) after an immediate appendectomy at Ferrari. The Briton falls to eleventh place.

But the dominant topic on the Red Sea is and remains the ‘Horner case’. Now the mysterious affair, which still lacks any transparency, is about to explode.

Horner goes all the way

With the help of the Thai majority shareholders (51 percent), Christian Horner (50) now wants to kill his arch-enemy Dr. Finally rid of Helmut Marko (80). The man from Graz will hold talks with Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff in Salzburg on Saturday.

The investigative magazine ‘BusinessF1’ (which wants to sue Horner) wrote that the German Mintzlaff wanted to fire Horner.

Now Horner is apparently going to do everything he can and wants to gain control of the headquarters in Fuschl with Thai help. Some of the theater employees there are already fed up. Marko: “There is so much speculation going on at the moment. Everything must be good for me in the future so that I can stay!”

Are the Verstappens leaving?

And the doctor has his most important friends by his side: the Verstappen clan with Max and father Jos and manager Vermeulen. In Bahrain they already threatened that they would leave if Horner remained at the helm of the team.

If it really comes to the point that Horner wins the dirty power struggle, then we will soon see what the harsh words from the Netherlands are worth. And let us not forget the fate of Horner’s once close colleague. Like the whole thing, it must be hushed up. But she wants to follow up her complaint against the boss with a civil lawsuit.

Toto Wolff looks very closely

One thing is clear: the world champion team has not yet suffered the consequences of the internal scandal. The 55-time GP winner Max Verstappen (26) continues to dominate the scene at will. But how long does he want to continue if his mentor Marko has to leave? Verstappen: “We are always on Marko’s side. We will not forget what he did for us.”

The Horner case will soon write a new chapter. But not the last!
