Toto Wolff, the manager of Mercedes’ team, stated that he believes “exciting scenarios” could occur if Christian Horner stays at Red Bull.
Nearly two weeks have passed since Red Bull GmbH cancelled their internal investigation into Christian Horner in response to claims about his actions as Red Bull Racing’s team manager, but the repercussions of the incident have continued to generate rumours and news stories during that time.
Toto Wolff: There are intriguing possibilities if Christian Horner stays.
Despite the upheaval of recent months, Horner’s public support from Red Bull shareholders suggests that there is little chance of the long-term team manager leaving the organization.
However, things haven’t quite calmed down; Max Verstappen’s father, Jos Verstappen, has called for Horner to step down and warned that the team might “explode” if he continues to be in control.
Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko stated during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend that he couldn’t completely rule out being suspended while Red Bull conducted its own inquiries into the occurrences.
The Dutch driver made it clear that without Marko’s participation at Red Bull, Max Verstappen’s own involvement would be in question, which prompted him to publicly back Marko.
As things stand, Red Bull is still run by the same people in the same capacities, and the only inquiry that is being conducted is an internal one to identify the source of anonymous media leaks.
Speaking to the Austrian daily OE24, Toto Wolff of Mercedes thinks that if Horner stays in charge of Red Bull, the team may see personnel changes.
When questioned about rumours that Verstappen would join Mercedes, Wolff responded, “I’m just saying: If Horner stays, there are exciting scenarios.”
In the end, everything revolves around the Horner staff. However, as I already mentioned, I only learn of internal Red Bull happenings from the media.
