Former F1 boss says Red Bull 'rethink' underway amid Horner saga

Former Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has suggested that a 'rethink' may be underway at Red Bull after recent events.

The world champions' team boss Christian Horner has been the subject of much speculation in the early part of this year, after accusations of alleged 'inappropriate behaviour' were levelled against him.

An investigation into his conduct cleared him of any wrongdoing, and the 50-year-old has vehemently denied the allegations throughout, but the accuser has appealed the result of the internal investigation, as well as lodging a complaint with the FIA.

The future of Horner, and various key figures throughout the team including Helmut Marko and Max Verstappen, has been less than clear since the saga began, while Verstappen senior recently revealed infighting within the team.

Now, Steiner has suggested that the top bosses within the wider Red Bull GmbH brand will be engaged in huge discussions surrounding the 'turbulence' - as Marko labelled it in a recent interview.

Steiner himself was axed from his role as Haas team principal during the winter break, after a run of poor results culminated in the team finishing bottom of the constructors' standings in 2023.

“In the higher ranks of the company, there will be some people rethinking what they want to do,” he told ABC Sports.

“I hope that for the sake of Formula One, they put an end to it, and we move on.”
