The indiscretion that has begun to circulate among Formula 1 fans in the last few hours is sensational: the alliance is possible
The paddock of Formula 1, as we know, is a jungle frequented by very astute managers who weave their web with great cynicism in order to reach their objective, which inevitably is to lead the team to victory. When it is achieved, however, victory makes the managers themselves a sensitive target, or perhaps sometimes becomes a reason for internal division among those who aspire to hold the reins of the team. The second case represents a bit of what is happening at Red Bull, with the power war between top figures that has broken out in recent months.
The absolute protagonists are the team principal Christian Horner and the super consultant Helmut Markowho have been at loggerheads since the death of the boss Dietrich Mateschitz – Austrian entrepreneur, billionaire and co-founder of the well-known energy drink manufacturing company – dated October 2022. It has therefore been almost two years since in Milton Keynes the air is anything but serene. And it is precisely in this context that today’s news fits. News of sensational significancewho would like the 81-year-old from Graz – who has so far failed to overturn Horner – about to hit the British manager in a roundabout way.
Wolff tempts Marko, betrayal on the horizon at Red Bull?
“In the last period I have become closer to Helmut. We share common values despite the rivalry. Everything that has happened in the last few months has made us realize that we are on the same side and we think the same thing about the behavior of some individuals. Marko in Mercedes in 2026? In Formula 1 everything is possible“. Word to ‘oe24’ from Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, who as soon as he sensed the crisis began to look for a way to exploit it to his advantage.
And yes, it looks like he found it. Why Marko could therefore ally himself with Wolff and the Brackley team. After these statements, speculation and rumors about the future increase, but this is not the only sensational indiscretion.
In fact, rumors report that Marko and Wolff have a clear strategy in mind to sink Red Bull: thanks to the very close relationship between Helmut and Max Verstappen, the ‘odd couple’ he would like to steal the three-time world champion from Horner by taking him to Mercedes. If this were to happen, without a shadow of a doubt we would be faced with one of the most incredible plots in recent history. We’ll see.
