Red Bull’s faile👍d deal with Porsche has been tipped as the catalyst for Red Bull’s internal drama by Ralf Schumacher.

Helmut Marko is now being investigated internally at Red Bull, reported♔ly over leaking information to the media.

F1's dominant team has been engulfed in internal problems since the investigation into Christian Horner started - but he has been cleared of wrongdoing after accusations about his b𓆏e♛haviour.

But the problems have been traced back to the abrupt calling-off of the partne𒈔rship between Red Bull and Porsche, 🥃which was set for 2026.

Ex-F1 driver Schumacher insists that Red B🍬ull 🌟founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who died in 2022, foresaw potential problems.

Schumacher said to about the 🍒issues at this weekend’s F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: "Who would have expected su𝐆ch a dynamic?

“You have to 🦋go back a little further. I know who expected this, but unfortunately they are no longer with us.

“That's ♚why Mateschitz had it firmly in his plan for Porsche to go in as a 50 percent share𒊎holder, because he saw such a development coming.

“In this case, I think Dr. Helmut Marko himself is annoyed because he 𝄹was there and could have done it that way.

“Then the situation wouldn't be there today."

"Sinc🥂e then, the whole thing has drifted apart a bit.”

The escalating tension around Marko’s investigation by Red Bull has resulted in backing from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Verstappen’s father Jos,๊ last week in Bahrain, called for Horner to lose his job as chief executive and team principal.

Schumacher said: “I don't want to be in the team's shoes when Max's father Jos can't come anymore and Dr. Marko can't c💯ome either.

“I believe this is wrong and i𝓡t is time for all parties to sit down toget🍸her.”

Schumacher said about Horner: “There i♔s someone in the middle who causes everything here because he wants to have everything under control with all his might.

“No one knows if that's that helpful."

Max Verstappen said about Marko: ℱ;"I haveܫ a lot of respect for Helmut and what we have achieved together.

"My loyalty to him is very big, and also I have always expressed t🀅his to everyone within the team, everyone high up, that he is an important pღart in my decision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.

"So, it is very important he stays within the team, 𝕴including of course everyone else because💛 it is a whole team effort.”
