Rumours began last week when Brazil’s Globo reported “turmoil” and “tension” at Red Bull, saying that team principal Horner wanted to get rid of🎉 consultant Marko.

Horner, Marko and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen denied the reports during last weekend’s F1 United States Grand 𓄧Prix.

’s Kravitz reported from on the ground in Texas: “Do you want to know about a story that yoဣu might have read about Helmut Marko and a supposed row with Christian Horner?

“Now, we neverꦆ knew. We didn’t know. I haven’t heard this in the waters, in the paddock 🌃jungle drums, in the paddock rumour mill.

“🌺We’ve seen no eviꦅdence of any row between Horner and Marko.

“They are tight buddies! They still have lunch eꦚvery day together.

“When Marko was interviewed by an Austrian n💫ewspaper he was asked about a rဣumoured rift with Horner, which I didn’t know was a thing!

“He said: ‘I have a contract with Red Bull until the end of next year. When, a🦹nd how, I stop? I decide. Not, for example, Mr. Horner’.

“How is he exp𝐆osing a massive rift, which looks like it isn’t a rift, with Horner? It’s all rather baffling.

“I don’🐠t get it. Becꦺause they look like bezzie mates!

“Max Vers꧟tappen was asked about this and said that he’s very close to both: ‘You don’t break up a winning team🦩’.

“S💞o, why was he asked? And why did he give a slightly tetchy answer? I just don’t get it…

“If it turns that our Marko leaves his post at the end of this year, rather than at the end of💃 next year when his contract runs out, then you’ll know that what’s ๊happening at the moment is ‘something’.

“And, if he doesn’t, then it wasn’tꦆ! That’s probably the easiest way to explain!

“The crucial thing is that Verstappen, who is very close with Marko, was saying ‘I don’t want h💮im to leave, he was instrumental in the making of me, he’s a good lad to have around!’

“There is the back-story.”

Horner denied the rumours, telling 🐽: "Without Helmut, I wouldn't 💟be in the position that I am today.

“Like with꧟ the young drivers that he has given an opportunity, he also gave me that opp♑ortunity.”

Verstappen insisted: “I saw that from the outs🍸ide people are trying to basically talk some BS because I think the mood in the team is v♍ery good.”

Marko told : "We'veꦗ known each other for 27 years. 

“We built this up together. ꦑThe division of labour looks like this: Chr🌜istian does the operational stuff, I'm more into the strategy. 

“Tꦦhat's💖 good. It's worked so far and we'll see that it works in the future too."
