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 controverඣsies aꦍt 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 appeared far more relaxed�ꦺ� 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,” Craig Slater reported on Sky Sports News.

“Christian Horner🗹 - is he beginning to mend fe꧃nces with the Verstappens?”

Looking at pictures of Horner and Verstappen sit💯ting amicably in the paddock, Slater said: “Images like this are done deliberatꦡely. 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 ap🌊art while he stays as team principal.

“Verstappen sounded a different type♐ of tone today. Much more concilꦿiatory.

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

“But against all𝔍 of that, there𓄧 is the backdrop of the appeal into the investigation that Horner was subject to.”

Horner ꦏwas cleared of wrongdoing by an independent lawyer after complaints from a colleague, who has now been suspend🍃ed, into his behaviour.

Jos Verstappen then accused 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 revelation about a contract clause which would allo🅘w him ꦺto quit if his close associate Marko leaves.

But Verstappen pledged loyalty to hisꦫ Red Bull contract, which runs to 2028, in Australia.

On-track, Red Bull have d✤ominated so far. Verstapp♐en has won both grands prix, with Sergio Perez twice finishing in P2.

But Sky’s Slater reported that the situation surrounding Horne♔r is not over yet.

“His a♚ccuser has also submitted a formal complaint to the FIA, asking them to in🎃vestigate the matter,” he said.

“I u🌞nderstand that was only done atꦜ the back end of last week, as well.

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

“The FIA are still evaluating whethe🐈r they want to launch their own investigation.”
