Marko slams Horner's memoir as 'collection of untruths'

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 12:32 · Archive

Helmut Marko has dismissed Christian Horner's memoir as 'a collection of untruths'.

Christian Horner, dismissed by Red Bull in 2025 after two decades leading the Formula One team, has spoken about his relationship with former Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko ahead of publishing his memoir, Drive.

Horner told German newspaper Bild that he and Marko have no current relationship. He said their final conversation took place on his last day at Red Bull, when they sat in his office and shook hands, after which there had been 'radio silence'.

Horner claimed Marko was heavily involved in his departure from the team shortly after the death of his former partner Beverley Allen, the mother of his daughter. He said it troubled him that Marko was 'so actively involved in getting me sacked' whilst his ex-partner had recently passed away, and that Marko did not offer his condolences.

Marko has dismissed the account. Speaking to Bild, he said: 'The book is a collection of untruths, which I don't want to discuss in detail.' Marko himself left Red Bull at the end of 2025.
