[Saba Sports News] F1 legend driver Gerhard Berger recently discussed the current state of various teams in the F1 paddock during a media interview. He believes that the Red Bull team’s loss of the Constructors’ Championship last season was not due to a lack of strength, but rather because of internal chaos within the team. Berger stated, “Formula 1 is very complex, and the competition is fierce. Success comes only when everyone in the team is united, has the same opinions, and communicates well. Suddenly, everything changed, which is completely unusual for a team.” The internal power struggle within Red Bull is most evident between team principal Christian Horner and senior advisor Helmut Marko, who have been at odds due to differing opinions, creating two factions and further intensifying the team’s internal tension. It is believed that there are indeed conflicts within the Red Bull management, involving power struggles, controversial statements, and internal investigations. These conflicts could negatively impact the team’s atmosphere, decision-making efficiency, and overall performance.
