Christian Horner, Adrian Newey, and Helmut Marko are the three pillars of the Red Bull racing team. They’re arguably the ones that made the team so successful in a very short period of time. Red Bull’s RB20 launch marked 20 years of Red Bull in F1, and what a journey it has been. Nonetheless, fans still await a decision on the accusations made toward Christian Horner. Amid all this, the Red Bull TP breaks silence on rumors of Power Struggles with Helmut Marko.
Post the launch of the RB20, Sky Sports got together with Christian Horner to ask him about the investigation currently going on regarding accusations of Inappropriate Behaviour. Christian Horner calmly denied all the accusations and answered all the rumors floating around the same. One of those was his relationship with Max Verstappen, Jos Verstappen, and Helmut Marko and whether there was any falling out between them.

Earlier, it was rumored that Horner had a fierce falling out with Helmut Marko that started a power struggle at Red Bull. However, when asked about if there was any friction, Horner replied, “There is always going to be speculation but we are together as one team. That’s the way we’ve always been and that’s the way we continue to be.”

The contracts are in such a way that if one leaves the team, the other one is forced to do it as well. So if Horner is found guilty, will Newey say goodbye to Red Bull? Christian Horner’s investigation will take time to come out with the verdict and for the time being, Horner remains in the CEO and TP role, and Newey in his role as well.
