Red Bull’s failed deal wi👍th Porsche has been tipped as the catalyst for Red Bull’s internal drama by Ralf Schumacher.

Helmut Marko is now being investigated internally⛄ at Red Bull, reportedly over leaking information to the media.

F1's 🙈dominant team has been engulfed in internal problems since the investigation into Christian Horner started - but he has been cleared of wrongdoing after accusations about his behaviour.

But the problems have been traced back to the abrupt calling-off of the partnership between Red Bull and Por🌞sche, which was set for 2026.

Ex-F1 driver Schumacher insists thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚat Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who died in 2022, foresaw potential problems.

Schumacher said to about the💦 issues at this weekend’s F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: "Who would have e♉xpected such a dynamic?

“You have to go back a ෴little fu♑rther. I know who expected this, but unfortunately they are no longer with us.

“That's w♔hy Mateschitz had it firmly in his plan for Porsche to go in as a 50 percent shareholder, because he saw such a development coming.

“In this case, I think Dr. Helmut Marko🌳 himself is annoyed because he was there and could have done it that way.

“Then the situation wouldn't be there today."

"Since then,🅠 the whole thing has drifted apart a bit.”

The escalating tension around Marko’s investigation by Red Bull has resulted in backing from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Verstappen’s father Jos, last week in Bahrain, called🦄 for Horner to lose hi🧔s job as chief executive and team principal.

Schumacher said: “I don't want to be in the team's shoes when Max's father Jos c♛an't come anymore and Dr. Marko can't come either.

“I believওe this is wrong and it is time for all part𒁃ies to sit down together.”

Schumacher said about Horner: “There is someone in the middle who causes eꦆverything here because he wants to have everything under control with all his might.

“No one knows if that's that helpful."

Max Verstappen said about Marko: "I 🌜have a ꦓlot of respect for Helmut and what we have achieved together.

"My loyalty to him is very big, and also I have always expressed this to everyone within the team, everyone high up, that he is an impo😼rtant part in my decision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.

"So, it is very imp⛦ortant he stays within the team, including of course everyone else because it is꧂ a whole team effort.”
