Red Bull delivered a display of “unity” after their recent troubles at the F1 Australian Grand Prix.

This weekend’s third round of the 2024 F1 campaign comes amid the latest rumblings of internal controജversiesℱ at the sport’s dominant team.

But on Thursday in Australia, team principal Christian Horner and star driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen appea🔯red far more ไrelaxed in each other’s company.

“What we saw today was interesting in terms of the team dynamics and the potential fractures that we’ve talked about within the team,” Cra𒀰ig Slater reported on Sky Sports News.

“Christian Horner - is he beginning to mend fences with the🦩 Verstappens?”

Looking at pictures of Horner and Verstappen sitting amicably in the paddock, Slater said: “Im𝕴ages like this are done d𝔉eliberately. This kind of paddock posing, as it were, almost stands in place of a statement.

“Here we’ve got Horner and Max Verstappen, remember, whose father said that Horner is tearing this team a♋part while he stays as team principal.

“Verstappen💖 sounded a different type of tone today. Much more conciliatory.

“My understanding is that we’ll get further statements from the likes of Dr. Helmut Marko - another who Horner 𒁏was supposed to have fallen out with, and was in a fractured relationship with - sounding a note of unity. The team intends to close ranks over all of this.

“But against all of that, there is the 🍌backdrop of the appeal into the investigation that Horner was subject to.”

Horner was cleared of wrongdoing by an independent lawyer after complaints from a colleague, who has now been suspended, i🅺nto his behaviour.

Jos Verstappen then acc🎐used Horner of “playing the victim” and demanded his exit as Red Bull team boss.

The drama engulfed Max Verstappen whose future suddenly appeared in doubt after a revelati🐽on about a contract clause which would allow him to quit if his close associate Marko le꧃aves.

But Verstappen pledged loyalty to his Red 💫Bull contract, which run🍰s to 2028, in Australia.

On-track, Red Bull have dominated so far. Versta𒁃ppen has won both grands prix, with Sergio Perez twice finishing in P2.

Bu𒅌t Sky’s Slater reported that the situation surrounding Horner is not over yet.

“His accuser has also submitted a formal complaint to the FI꧙A, asking them to investigate t💝he matter,” he said.

“I understand that was only done💯 at the back end of l♑ast week, as well.

“People may have read about other petition🅰s to the FIA, on her behalf. Those were done without Horner’s accuser’s knowledge, as I understand.

“The F✃IA a🍒re still evaluating whether they want to launch their own investigation.”
