Max Verstappen's threat to Red Bull's warring F1 team
Спорт
Serenity on-track, constant chaos off it - Red Bull is being pulled apart at the seams by a war for control that has triggered a major warning from Max Verstappen.
Wins in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have made for the perfect start to Red Bull’s season and Verstappen’s bid for a fourth consecutive title, but this dominant dream team risks being destroyed from within.
What started as Christian Horner’s personal controversy regarding his behaviour towards a female member of staff has snowballed drastically since the allegations and a subsequent Red Bull investigation became public.
Max Verstappen didn’t really react to any of that. But the latest twist in a vicious struggle for power at Red Bull has now grabbed his attention.

7:18 Verstappen to Mercedes?

Drivers get too much attention so they think they are "THE PEOPLE" of F1... they are so overrated. What will Max do at Mercedes or Ferrari? He'd win nothing. People like Horner and Newey are way more important than Hamiltons and Vertappens. This threat makes no sense.
@cantfindawayout

@@Willbrse That's an insane take if I've ever heard one. You think Bottas would have won 8 WDCs and 8 WCCs for Mercedes during the 2014-2020 period like Rosberg and Hamilton did? Do you think Webber would have brought Red Bull those championships during the 2010-2013 period? How about Barichello in Ferrari during the 1999-2004 period? You think he'd get 5 WDCs and 6 WCCs in that car (which was 100% the best in 2002 and 2004 and either best or 2nd best in other years)? The answer to all 3 is 'no'. Neither Bottas for Merc, nor Webber for RB, nor Barichello for Ferrari would result in champioships (maybe 1, if they were lucky). Drivers are extremely important, you're not going to win anything even if you have the best car, but a mid-level driver. You need a car as dominant as the one Ferrari had in 2004, Merc had in 2014 or RB had in 2023 to win something despite the driver (as in, Perez probably would have won the championship in 2023 car). Cars as dominant as that don't happen often.
@Willbrse
3 ай бұрын
@@cantfindawayout The answer is yes. Heck Perez would be world champion last season. Anyone a bit more stable than him, like Bottas, would win as much as Vertappen did. Drivers need the team ready for them, but they can't build it. It's people like Horner, Toto, Newey that get things built, the drivers only drive the car. Cars dominant as that happens often. You don't watch F1 I guess... Drivers have their importance but this importance is way smaller than people think. Hamilton can't do 💩now at Mercedes. Verstappen couldn't win before and it took some drastic rule change for Red Bull to be competitive. 2005 saw another change which hit Ferrari, etc. Drivers are overrated. Ofc people like Stroll are just naturally bad. I don't think these would win even in Red Bull. But to say Max is a big loss for Red Bull and a big win for other team is senseless. He can't win without an ultra car, just like Hamilton can't do that now. The "GOATs" of F1 always had some amazing team of engineers and the TP who built it all behind them, those people are the real stars of F1. And the fact that these so called legends 99% of the time are fighting only 1 (ONE) other driver in the best scenario (because either the other teams can't build a decent car or the team of the said legend puts 100% of the effort behind the guy while the other driver is forced to eat the leftovers) proves that I'm right.

But Dr Marko went mad at Horner for doing so. Also they had a two and throw about the driver that got sacked last year. Horner said he wasn’t ready but Marko got his own way and we all know how that ended. Whilst Dietrich was alive he made it clear that Horner runs the team and Marko is Dietrich’s adviser when it comes to the drivers and he was in charge of the young driver’s program. But since Dietrich’s passing you have Marko trying to take over the whole thing.

All that and you still missed the fact that the female who was suspended had been romantically linked to Jos Verstappen in 21-22. Plus Jos seen speaking with Toto a number of times and it clearly states that if the hierarchy at RB changes, this can open up a leave clause in Max’s contract.

I call that nonsence. There's one picture of Jos having a hand on her shoulder (even though they don't bend towards each other). They obviously know each other, but i don't see how that proves 'the fact' of a romantic involvement. If there were pictures taken at my company's last New Year's party you could argue by the same means that I was 'romantically linked' to half the company. Which is nonsence. However I would still be p.o. if a boss treated one of my coworkers poorly.

Newey isn't going anywhere unless another team are willing to let him do hobby projects (like the AM Valkyrie or RB17 on the side)
Yuki is in RB because of Honda and Marko. Daniel was given another chance in the junior team because of Horner. Marko or Horner, whichever is pushed out, will seriously drag their favourite driver's future with them😅 Camp Marko: Verstappen, Albon, Yuki, Carlos. Camp Horner: Daniel, Checo, Lawson. all will be hugely affected by this🔥
Almost sounds like Game of Thrones RB edition
Nobody is bigger than the team. If he leaves he leaves. His reason for leaving is a different story, grown man letting his daddy pull the strings 🥴
Unless Newey also leaves, it's all feels like a nothing burger for the Red Bull team, they'll have a new Champ in Perez (or any other driver that is better than Perez).
Bet Ferrari are sorry now that they didn't wait another few months as Max would be a far better bet for a return to success than Hamilton. Also no one is mentioning Honda or the fact that they would try and push to get him into the Aston Martin

@razi_haron good point. The only counter I can place against it is that it depends on which team they move to. If the proteges move teams without the resources and freedoms that Adrian is accustomed to, their talents might come off hampered. Adrian Newey is certainly the talent that he's hyped to be. His ability to find loopholes and adapt other car designs into his own car is second to none, but it is important to acknowledge that he doesn't do it alone.

@@razi_haron Just being a protégé of someone as talented as Adrian Newey does not make anyone a brilliant engineer, but the fact that several former high-ranking RB engineers have not yet managed to design a car to match RedBull does not mean that they will not be able to do so in the future. Loïc Bigois, for example, had been an aerodynamics engineer in F1 since 1990, but his greatest success didn't come until 2009, when he was involved in designing the aero-dynamics for the Brawn BGP 001, a feat for which he received the Racecar Aerodynamicist of the Year Award.
I really like how you don't fall into speculations. I see it criticized in the comments, but not firmly stating speculation as fact is really great! It is nice to be updated on this situation without it feeling like a lust for drama. Keep doing what you are doing please, we really need a less speculative news channel for F1!
Yuki is a midfield driver, with the skills of a rookie and the temperament of a seasoned champion. Not getting a RB seat. That's not the profile.
It amazes me so many people (including the press) feel they have the right to know what happened with the investigation. It’s a corporate HR issue, not a criminal case
11:08 unclear or incorrect. Either she was suspended after the investigation finished and t also had been treated like Horner until then or you didn’t explain well she was suspended as soon as she filed, which I very much doubt happened
It's sad that these organizations have these kinds of issues at that level. If only they were allowed to race in cars without having to deal with their own teams crap.
Helmut's relevance to Verstappen's career ended when Max got an F1 seat, at most when he became WC on 2021....... After that.. what does Helmut bring to Max's career?
Calling Verstappen's bluff? If max says he will leave if Helmut gets forced out, then I would believe him. Max acts with impunity.

First of all, Marko has been with Red Bull since their beginning in '99. He's the head of the teams driver development programme...most (young) drivers at Red Bull have been and are spotted and tutored by Marko. There's absolutely no chance of Max leaving Red Bull, unless their teams organization completely collapses. Sadly the sewer journalism reigns supreme, creating and endless stream of clickbaity garbage nonsense. It's a parade of regurgitated opinions, assumptions and wishful thinking... completely devoid of factual substance. We'll know what happened when it's done, clearly the power balance within the team has shifted, which eventually results in a new situation. As Max always states, he's there to race...the circus around that has no function to him, so it makes sense for him to simply ignore it. The intent of his statements regarding Horner or Marko are very simple, a solution to shut down the endless barrage of useless questions from 'journalists'. He's not loyal to one or another, he was just stating that he'd rather not see the team change.
The race have really shown themselves during this saga.

I think it's so obvious what happened. Someone encouraged the employee to bring up false allegations about Christian Horner. That somebody is obviously whoever wants to take his spot later. This person also thought that with things like the me too movement that just unfound accusations would get Christian out. Luckily Red Bull actually looked into the process and realized that it's nothing of the sort.
Do we really think Max will give up the best team/car in the grid before his contract is up? Good luck with the inferior teams. Jos is an absolute tool.
Baffled as to what the axe is that The Race has toward Horner. He was proven innocent, the aggrieved party was apparently discovered to be making malicious accusations. Anyone would think this the first time a female staff member has been false witness in their own cause before. Not only that but it's like you haven't ever read a single corporate policy or even the most basic cursory knowledge of UK employment law. When it comes to suspension and dismissal, employment law comes down to essentially whether there has been a breakdown of TRUST in the person and it can be demonstrated. Obviously until such a time as the investigation proved otherwise Horners long service and unblemished record would have held him in good standing. The legally required corporate procedure took place and found him innocent. In conducting the investigation the accusatory party opened the door for evidence against them to be brought forward by Horner in his defence. This likely demonstrated the reasons for there to be such a breakdown of trust in the party raising the grievance especially if vexatious. There is always a clause in any grievance process too to protect against it being misused/misappropriated. Like Horner said all the leaks and speculation has been ONE WAY. A good JOURNALISTIC establishment would be doing more than speculating on official press releases (so much of new medias news grifts in such regard) and actually done some investigative work to ascertain verifiable facts in both directions. However these days journalists like most young people don't know how to generate close relationships and develop sources properly.

No one is talking about this, most of all Jos. Someone has to call him on this!

Kinda like this comment section full of whinging incels broken up by the possibility that holding a powerful man accountable runs the risk of distracting their personal driving Jesus from going around in circles faster than the other guys’ personal driving Jesus’.
Verstappen isn't going to Merc. Nobody is leaving a team with that performance advantage. He's likely to win 40 races in the next 2 seasons. However whether he sets something up for 26 is another matter. Mercedes appear to be finished as a front running team, hence why the lead driver is leaving
Silly season has started early, but could lead to RB being stuck with Marko and Perez, and losing MV, AN, CH and Ford. There is only one sensible way forward: the chief belligerants (CH, Jos V and Marko - all too old) all have to leave.

It's always dangerous when people look at someone like Christian Horner and think that they could do his job better than him. Also it seems foolish for Verstappen to make a decision with no clarity on the 2026 car.... Every manufacturer sells drivers on the fantasy of "what we have in store for the future!" If he wants to win championships, he needs to stay put. He won't be winning races or championships at Mercedes. Please refer to Daniel Ricciardo. When the new regulations come online, he can see who has the quickest car and make a decision with data in hand.
