The entire soap opera within Red Bull Racing seems to be getting crazier and crazier every day and almost every day we hear updates and new rumors about the internal unrest within the team. In the meantime, the Thai owners are said to have even sent a ‘spy’ to the headquarters in Salzburg to investigate.
In recent weeks, Formula 1 has been completely under the spell of the entire Red Bull Racing riot. Although performance on the job itself is still fantastic, things within the organization are more restless than ever. Christian Horner and Helmut Marko in particular seem to be diametrically opposed to each other, with the bigwigs from above also playing a role. In addition, Max Verstappen and father Jos are also important key players in what is happening. For example, the Dutch driver recently expressed his full support for advisor Marko, where team boss Horner seems to be under increasing pressure.

Thai owner is upset
Those high bosses that we mentioned earlier consist of the camp with the Austrian owners led by Mark Mateschitz and on the other hand the Thai owners – the camp with 51 percent of the shares – led by the very wealthy Chalerm Yoovidhya. The Thai owner is now said to have taken a fairly drastic measure to gain more insight into what is going on behind the scenes. According to GermanBILD” href=” target=”_blank”>BILD he allegedly sent a Thai ‘spy’ to Europe to go on location and see what was going on.
Thai Spy
The ‘Thai Spy’, as he is also called by certain people involved, was initially flown to the headquarters in Salzburg, but was reportedly given the task of checking out all possible departments. If possible, this also includes the Red Bull Racing headquarters in Milton Keynes. According to BILD, the presence of the spy causes even more unrest and even fear within Red Bull. Normally the Thai family always operates in the background, but now the situation has gotten so out of hand that they decide to intervene themselves. Due to this sudden action, there are fears that drastic measures will be taken.
