Red Bull’s failed deal with Porsc🔥he 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 t🍒he media.

F1's dominant team has been engulfed in internal problems since the investigation into Chri💝stian 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 andꩵ Porsche, which was set for 2026.

Ex-F1 d🔜river Schumacher insists that Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who died in 2022, fores༺aw potential problems.

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

“You ha♏ve to go back a little further. I know who expected this, but unfortunately they are no longer with us.

“That's why Mateschitz had it firmly in his plan for Porsche to go in as a 50 percent shar൲eholder, because he saw such🧜 a development coming.

“In this case, I think Dr. Helmut Marko himself is aꦓnnoyed because he was there and could have done it th꧒at 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.

Ver✃stappen’s father Jos, last week in Bahrain, called for Horner to lose h🦩is 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 🧸can't come anymore and Dr. Marko can't come either.

“I believe this is wrong a♎nd it is time for all pꦬarties to sit down together.”

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

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

Max Verstappen said abou✤t Marko: "I have a lotཧ 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 important par𝄹t in my decision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.

"So, it is very important he stays within the team, including of couꦍrse everyone else becaꦐuse it is a whole team effort.”
