But one thing is certain: this story is far from finished, and it might take some time before the final outcome is known.
There has been conjecture that this went much beyond just an internal issue involving Horner and a female colleague ever since the
incident initially broke last month.
There were early rumors that this was part of a larger power struggle involving some of the most important Red Bull management
figures.
After all, the Austrian energy drink manufacturer Red Bull had surprisingly released an official comment before the whole affair
became public.
For a company well-known for adhering to the maxim “never say more than necessary” when it comes to
This had evolved into something far more expansive, a struggle for power and influence between Red Bull’s Thai majority owner
Chalerm Yoovidhya and the Austrian side of the corporation.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko and Max and Jos Verstappen, who each had different ideas about what they thought
should happen, were somewhere in the middle of all of this.
Furthermore, it is difficult to determine which side of the fence Red Bull’s significant corporate partners, Ford and Oracle, were sitting
on, but we had to factor their impact into the equation.
Some have asserted, on the one hand, that there was boardroom anxiety regarding the companies’ possible reputational damage due
to their association with the Red Bull scandal. Others, however, contend that their primary worry was that Horner would not survive,
given that their initial motivation to become involved stemmed from his impact and attraction to a larger audience.
