sport news Helmut Marko opens up on Red Bull civil war amid Christian Horner 'sex text' ... trends now
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has commented on the ongoing power struggle within the team.
The reigning world champions have been engulfed in chaos so far this season with Christian Horner - who earns £8million a year as team principal - the subject of an internal investigation in February after accusations of 'coercive behaviour' towards a female colleague were made against him, before he was cleared.
However, several messages that were alleged to be between Horner and his accuser were then leaked via anonymous email, adding further furore to the whole situation. The bombshell email - which was sent to leading F1 figures - contained 79 documents, including hundreds of messages, many of them of a sexual nature.
The Red Bull chief, husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, denies all the allegations and has insisted he will stay in his role. Jos Verstappen, father of Red Bull's star driver Max, is among those who called for Horner to go.
Horner's future is believed to be tied to an ongoing power struggle within Red Bull following the death of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022.
