While the F1 team have enjoyed nothing but glory - claiming the constructors’ and the drivers’ championships this season - this claim ไsuggests that there are some problems to fix in thಞe background.
There is now “tension” between team principal Horner and Marko, who was Dietric🙈h Mateschitz’s right-hand man, it is report💛ed.

“Hor🔯ner has been trying to get rid of Marko for some time to contr💮ol the group's operation in Formula 1 as a whole,” the Brazilian newspaper wrote.
Horner also wants rid of Yuki Tsunoda, the AlphaTauri driver, a deci🌞sion which would require Honda to 🧜write a cheque of $10m.
“Something Marko has been trying to prevent to🃏 avoid future friction with the engine supplier,” it is reported.
Marko “is in serious danger of losing his position” with a meeting scheduled for the coming week to 🦩decide, tꩲhe report alleges.
As well as Horner wanting him gone, 🐻Oliver Mintzlaff (who joined Red Bull after Mateschitz’s death) also wants to move Marko on.
