Sky Sports F1 commentator🍬 David Croft believes the ongoing Christian Horner saga “might take a toll” on Red Bull if it’s not resolved soon.

Red Bull have dominated the media headlines in🦩 the opening months of the 2024 F1 season - and not for their impressive on-track perf🥃ormance.

Ahead of 𝄹the new campaign, Horꦓner was investigated following allegations of inappropriate behaviour by a female employee.

Whi⛎le Horner was cleared of any w♏rongdoing, the situation is far from resolved.

Jos Ver💫stappen effectively called for Horner’s resignation after alleged evidence from the investigati🐷on was leaked.

This - and Helmut Marko’s possible suspension - led to immense speculation about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s future and hints of a civil war insi𓃲de Re♔d Bull.

It appeared that Horner had the backing of the Thai side of the Red Bull company, while the Austrian s🍬ide - backed by the Verstappens - woul🏅d have preferred to see him replaced.

Things have ca✤lmed down ahead of Australia even though the aforementioned female employee has lodged an appeal - and foౠrmal complaint to the FIA.

Giving his view on🔴 the situation, Croft warned that Red Bull’s “battle for power” might have a detrimental impact.

“What seems to be a battle for power behind 🦹the scenes is♓ taking place not to the detriment of their sporting performance at the moment,” Croft told .

“But if the🎃re’s a lot going on the background that is grabbing th🐠e attention and draining the energy levels, that might take a toll eventually.

“It’s a long, long season ahead Marko, at the end of the day, is the guy who has guided Max Verstappen in F⛦ormula 1 and throughout his time in Formula 1.

“Marko has that special relationship with the drivers 🗹ꦦbecause that’s his job. That is his purpose.

“Christian Horner’s future is subject to the results of that appeal. I’m sure it would tak🍒e a toll, not just on Christian, but his family as well."
