So are we assuming from that (if it happens) that he’s the potential leaker?German TV says Helmut Marko is going to be suspended on Monday
Wouldn't be surprised if he egged the girl on to stitch up Horner, and once he kept his job further questions were asked of her and she spilt the beans,
that could be where her suspension for dishonest behaviour came from and Marko's pending suspension, may well see a pitlane ban for Jos very soon as well
That's just my personal musings ofc

Certainly one possibility, or he's fought against Horner or stood up for the girl and lost. Or anything else really.
Clear as mud, really.
I can see Marko being enough of a gob to spill the beans if he is booted. Max is said to be close to Marko, wonder how he'll react?
We all know who were talking about so don't be that guy
If you know then it should be easy to spell it right.

Seems like the extension of last years rumour about Helmut and Horner at war. BBC reporting the same https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/68517911.
Seems like this will be all we'd be talking about the next few races.

So to summarise, Max thinks Helmut built the team from nothing and Horner thinks he did. For me it boils down to who Red Bull values the most, Horner or Max ultimately.
Get the popcorn ready and strap in its going to be a wild ride!

If its Horner v Marko when there's only one winner - at 80 Marko is done anyway
Best thing for Max would be both Marko and Horner gone. He's a fantastic driver no doubt about it but they are two terrible influences on him. Imagine him with a decent human being as a manager, bet the numbers of 'haters' would drop significantly.
Not to disagree for the sake of it, but it’s his own attitude that stinks as well. Perhaps he’s young enough for that to improve as the years go on, especially yes if Horner and Marko go. But he brings it on himself, currently.
