Sky Sports F1 commentat🌞or David Croft believes the ongoing Christian Horner꧋ saga “might take a toll” on Red Bull if it’s not resolved soon.

Red Bullඣ have dominated the media headlines in the opening months of the 2024 F1 season - and not for their impressive on-track performance.

Ahead of the new campaign, Horner was investigated following allegations of inappropriate behaviour by a femal๊e employee.

While Horner was cleared of any wrongdoi🔯ng, the situation is far from resolved.

Jos Verstappen effectively called for Horner’s resignation ❀after alleged evidence from the investigation was leaked.

This - and Helmut Marko’s possible suspension - led to immense speculation about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s future and hints of a ci🔴vil war inside Red Bull.

It appeared that Horner 🌳had the backing of the Thai side of the Red Bull company, wh🎃ile the Austrian side - backed by the Verstappens - would have preferred to see him replaced.

Things have calmed down ahead of Austꦚralia even though the aforementioned female employee has lodged an appeal - and formal complaint to the FIA.

Giving his view on the situation,🌞 Croft warned that Red Bull’s “battle for power” might have a detrimental imp🌸act.

“What seems to be a battle for power behind t𝓡he scenes is taking plac💃e not to the detriment of their sporting performance at the moment,” Croft told .

“But if there’s a lot going on the background that is grabbing😼 the attention and draining the energy levels, that might take a toll eventually.

“It’s a long, long season ahead Mar𒅌ko, at the end of the day, is the guy who has guided Max Verstappen in Formula 1 and throughout his time in Formula 1.

“Marko has that specialꦬ relationship with the drivers because that’s his job. That is his 🧸purpose.

“Chrisไtian Horner’s future is subje൩ct to the results of that appeal. I’m sure it would take a toll, not just on Christian, but his family as well."
