Red Bull’s top boss has set the record straight on claims about the difficult relationship between C﷽hristian Horner and Helmut Marko.

Horner and Marko were at the centre of the internal ch🐓al൲lenges that Red Bull’s F1 team faced a year ago.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s future with the team is still being questioned because their car’s performance has decliಞned since then.

But Oliver Mintzlaff, the managing director of the F1 team’s parent company Red Bull GmbH, has been questioned about whetherﷺ Horner and Marko 🦩are still “tense” after last year’s difficulties.

Mintzlaff told : “I have full confidence in ever൲y single employee. This also applies to our management team. “Helmut and Christian both wa༺nt maximum success and subordinate everything to it. We have also discussed this again in the past few days.”

Christian Horner v Helmut Marko 'not a dream marriage'

It was put to Mintzlaff𒆙 that Horner and Marko’s relationship was not a “dream marriageܫ”.

He replied: “It's clear that eveꦬry relationship has ups and downs.

“It should not be forgotten that the two will have their 400th race together a▨t the next Grand Prix in Miami.

“Helmut was the one who hired Christ🔜ian i෴n 2005. The two have an incredible amount in common.

“It is clear that with all the൩ pressure, emotions and passion, emotions can sometimes boil up.

“But then you have to sit down together and disc🐠uss it behind clo🌞sed doors. And that's what we do.”

Red Bull will head into next weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix som♏ewhat buoyed by their performance last time out in ൩Saudi Arabia.

Verstappen stunned in qualifying to take pole position but was hit with a five-second time penalty early in the✨ grand prix for an in🌟cident with Oscar Piastri.

McLaren’s Piastri won his second con𓆉secutive race and now leads the drivers’ championship, leaving Red Bull insisting Verstappen’s punishment - which largely ended his hopes of winning - was too harsh.

But Verstappen did prove he could be compet💦itive with the McLarens over the course of a weekend which will be a much-needed boost to Red Bull as rumours swirl aꦡbout his future.
