"It was a very good conversation,” Marko said. “Of course, calm must return to the team. That has pri꧑ority.

"We agreed on all points. I will continue here. My contract still has three years to run. But ca🧔lm 💙must return.”

Marko had confessed on Friday night that he faꦛced possible disciplinary action and might not be at the next race in Australia.

Marko, who is one of the most influential figures at Redꦡ Bull, had received resounding support from Max Verstappen after qualifying.

Speaking to the D𒊎aily Mail in the Jeddah paddock, Mintzlaff also appeared to give public backing to Horner.

"W☂e are focusing on the racing,” he said. “We are happy with our management."
