Digest more
Christian Horner has been accused of “lying” and playing “dirty games” at Red Bull after a fierce attack from outgoing adviser Helmut Marko. Horner lost an internal power struggle at the F1 team earlier this year when he was dismissed as team principal in July after 20 years at the outfit and 14 world championships to his name.
Former Red Bull chief Helmut Marko claims that Max Verstappen would have become world champion again in 2025 if Christian Horner had been sacked sooner. The Brit was axed from his role in July after 20 years with the team, who saw their form improve exponentially under new team principal Laurent Mekies.
