[Saba Sports News] The 2024 season has seen the
Red Bull Racing Team embroiled in an internal power struggle, with team
principal Christian Horner facing possible dismissal due to a scandal. However,
a crisis meeting held in Dubai has yielded surprising results, as Horner’s
position has become stronger than ever. Red Bull Thailand, the majority
shareholder, has firmly sided with Horner, rendering all efforts to prevent his
rise to power within the Red Bull Group futile. This week, media reports have
emerged suggesting that Red Bull Holdings intends to relocate its headquarters
from Austria to Dubai, further adding to the unexpected turn of events. Faced
with the unexpected support from Red Bull Thailand, Austrian Red Bull CEO
Oliver Mintzlaff has been forced to focus on self-preservation. At present, it
appears that Horner has emerged as the victor in this drawn-out “civil
war.” Only if a civil court finds evidence of Horner’s misconduct towards
female employees within the company will his support be truly shaken.
