For the first time in the history of the team’s 21 -year -old Formula 1, the Red Bill Helm is going to the weekend without Christian Horner.
Just three days after leading the Red Bill in the British Grand Prix in early July, Horner was suddenly dismissed as the team’s principal and chief executive in his decision, which sent a shockwave through the game.
Although Horner’s last 18 months in -charge meant that his departure was not surprising, but the sudden, mid -season’s nature was certainly.
The advantage of this is that it has been just two weeks to prepare for their first race, in charge of the game’s powerhouse, with Laurent Macaiz.
The Frenchman, who promotes Red Bill’s junior squad racing bills, has got a lot to consider much before the Belgian Grand Prix. Sky Sports F1 The weekend
Spa-francorchimps Sprint Week end before, Sky Sports The mickeys analyze different types of problems of different problems in a short and medium period.
Sort the future of versatapin
The highest profile story in the Red Bill is the future of Max Versistapin.
The construction of the British Grand Prix was dominated by speculation that the winner of the title of the last four drivers was going to leave the Red Bill to join Mercedes.
Many people have made the idea that Horner’s dismissal is partially in response to the situation, which shows that Verstapin may be more likely to be in a new leadership, in view of his father’s outgoing boss.
Whether it is true or not, silences the future of Versistapine and silences the noise that caused the uncertainty is something that the maksis have undoubtedly tried to achieve.
It is also worth noting that the Red Bill Power Brokers may be convinced that Verstepen has already decided to leave, and that the team’s prize was an important factor in Horner’s death.
Regardless of whether or not the Veristapian remains, Maxiz will still have a 2026 lineup selection, in which Liam Lawson is struggling badly in the second car after Lawson’s devastating two race stunts to start the season.
Icecar Hudger, whose career Maxz is monitoring the racing bills, seems like a leading candidate for the promotion of promotion during the first half of his campaign.
Turn the car’s performance
Virtanopin has made it clear throughout his career that he cares about only one thing – a sharp car in which he can withstand victories and titles.
By the early stages of the last year, after enjoying the extraordinary magic from the previous end of the 2022 season to the early stages of the last year, Virtan has won only four grands in the last 12 months.
The struggle of the Virtan team’s teammates has been emphasized on the lack of performance, in which Sergio Perez, Lawson and Swonoda are struggling to score points in the second set.
Although rivals, especially McLaren have made impressive progress, the Red Bill is ranked fourth in the position of the Fall of Constructors, which raises questions that will seek answers among others, among others.
Can he have the confidence that the same technical personnel who have allowed the current car to become such a handful of, when new rules and regulations are introduced in 2026, they will provide the winner?
The further question is whether the Red Bill’s first house will be competitive in the house so that the car can be disputed.
Maxis may not immediately change any of these things, but it should be kept back in a positive direction.
Stop the departures
It is difficult to believe that the departure of Legendary Designer Adren New as the Chief Technical Officer on May 2024 has not been a major factor in car regression since then.
Nai is one of the many influential figures who left the Red Bill in the final stages of Horner’s reign.
Before exiting it, in 2023, Chief Engineering Officer Rob Marshall had played an important role in occupying the Red Bill as a dominant squad of the game through all accounts.
Former Red Bill’s Head of Race Strategy, Will Corteen, is in the process of walking the way to MacLaran, as he is waiting to play his role as McLaren Sporting Director, leaving the Red Bill in September last year.
In addition, after the Gate of the Navy, Sporting Director Jonathan was a Whitley, who recently took over as the Audi team Principal of the Audi team next year.
Although the movement of technical personnel in Formula 1 is normal, losing four important personalities in such a short period of time is far from the ideal and it shows that everything was not good in Horner’s leadership.
Maxiz first needs to ensure that there is no further brain drain, and then decide to restore the Red Bill as a team and the environment where they can attract the best of their rivals.
Change of icon?
Although the overall performance of the Red Bill under Horner cannot be questioned, the leading titles of 14 drivers and constructors have been won under its leadership, but there is a feeling that the people who decided to go out may be open to a brand.
It was all part of the winning package, but Horner brought a tough competition and all pricing attitude that established it as a pantomamine villain in the pedestrian.
It was already before last year’s off -track controversy, which undoubtedly damaged its reputation and eventually proved to be the beginning of the end.
Although most of the sports team’s principals appear to come in the way.
Maxis has a very different role, which is well -liked and with the entire pedestrian relationship, before returning to the Red Bill Setup in 2001 with the racing bulls in 2024, before working in Menni, Toro Rosso, FIA and Ferrari with arrows in 2001 with arrows.
Although the Red Bill -up start drinks company does not want to lose its status as an extraordinary, which has eliminated the game’s order, it can be welcomed both inside and outside the team.
