Horner criticised for comments about Marko in new autobiography

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 16:21 · Archive

Christian Horner has been accused of being tasteless after making critical comments about Helmut Marko in his autobiography Drive.

Christian Horner, Red Bull's team principal for 20 years, has faced criticism for comments about Helmut Marko made in interviews promoting his new autobiography Drive. Horner accused Marko of working to have him removed from Red Bull and said Marko did not offer condolences when the mother of Horner's daughter passed away. In an interview with The Times, Horner said he was constantly dealing with problems caused by Marko, describing the situation on the Up to Speed podcast as getting a little messy after the death of Marko's wife Dietrich.

Former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher criticised Horner for his tasteless comments, saying he was ruining his own work. Schumacher acknowledged Marko's significant role in Red Bull's success, saying it was a shame that Horner had made such comments.

Marko declined to engage in a public dispute, telling F1-Insider that Horner's claims were a collection of untruths and that he did not want to address them further. The conflict emerges as Red Bull Powertrains celebrates back-to-back wins for Max Verstappen.
