Helmut Marko has delivered an update on the alleged “power struggle” at Red Bull involving Chrisꦍt𝔉ian Horner.

Team principal and chief executive Horner continues to🌳 count on support from the Thai majority shareholders, after being cleared of wrongdoing in an investigation into his behaviour towards a female colleague.

The futures of Max Verstappen and veteran advisor Marko came under unexpected scrutiny, as a result, and the star driver pledged loyalty to hi🌸s long-term ally.

Ahead of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix this weekend, Red⭕ Bull cannot rid themselves of claims that internal drama is spiralling.

Marko, 80, was asked about the current status of the issues at Red Bull, and told : “Basically it's about bringing calm to t😼he team. And that is urgently needed.

“As we saw in Australia, if we d🔯on't deliver, Ferrari🃏 is there.

“Other factors also played a role, 🍸but the goal has to be the fourth title in a row. Everything else is subordinate to that.”

Marko was qu🐈izzed about a ‘power struggle’ i🍸nside F1’s dominant team.

“That's politics that I'm not concerned with at the🥃 moment,” he insisted.

“It's all about winning the next world title.”

♓Marko insisted that Verstappen’s form in 2024 - three grand prix victories out of four, only marred by a rare DNF in Australia💃 - should be rated higher due to the turmoil within Red Bull.

“He's just so incredibly focused,” Marko said.

“He doesn't need a team around hi𒆙m to help him in these situations.

ꦐ“He is an exception a𓄧nd is just 27 years old. He does his own thing anyway and that's a good thing.”

Verstappen launched a passionate defenc🌞e of Marko’s future at the F1 team in Saudi Arabia, when his place was called into question amid the Horner controversy.

“That was a really big 🌺sign of loyalty,” Marko said.

“Iཧ absolutely do🃏n't take that for granted, especially in this day and age.”

Changes continue a🔴t Red Bull afജter the 2022 death of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz.

ꦉThoms Uberall has been installed as the new managing director of the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Aus🤡tria, where F1 will visit in June.

“I've known him f𓆉or a very long time, actually since he🌌 entered Formula 1,” Marko said.

“He has an incredible resume, with many stations in motorsport, especial꧟ly in MotoGP.

“He has also worked on many projects in the past and is a d🔜ream solution for Red Bull as he was also closely linked to 🅺Dietrich Mateschitz.”
