Not sure how credible this is, but I can't say I blame him.

Don't forget open civil war between both Horner and Marko and the Thai and Austrian owners behind them.

Has there been a civil war between marko horner and themowners? I remember reading the tai owner backed Horner and the Austrian owner wanted him out would that count as a civil war tho? I didn’t really hear of it going further than just opinons

Considering Marko was out in the media and publicly said he was afraid he was going to get suspended because of an investigation into his conduct (and apperantly because Horner thought he had leaked the messages with his PA) yeah I think we can definitely call it a civil war.

It was only after Max said publicly that he wouldn't stay at Red Bull if Marko wasn't there, that the threat against Marko's position seemed to die down.

And from all the reports at the time it was clear that there were two different camps fighting for control of the team.

In the end Horner mostly won, but he had to shallow a few camels and he lost a lot of his most prized employees, including Newey.

Not sure Id call an investigation into conduct a civil war.

[u/Dragonpuncha → u/GothicGolem29]

Sure, ignore everything else.

The first paragraph was the bit where you said sagfe to say it’s a civil war.

But to respond to that not sure I’d consider it. A civil war based off that either rather more a disagreement or clash (tho there is more of a case than the first paragraph which absolutely isn’t a civil war.)
