F1 Today | Horner sidelined, Scheckter requests help, and Red Bull struggles

GPBlog has learned that Thai co-owner of Red Bull GmbH, Chalerm Yoovidhya, has reached his limit the lack of performance from Red Bull Racing, and possibly Christian Horner. The team principal has also been involved in controversy since the beginning of 2024. 

The Briton could be leaving sooner rather than later as it is also being reported that his powers within the team are also being limited. Helmut Marko and Oliver Mintzlaff,managing director of Red Bull GmbH, are now the only two people allowed to sign driver contracts.

Former F1 driver, Jody Scheckter has found himself in a unique situation in which he can no longer drive. The south-african driver, moved to Italy and was able to use his previous driver's license for a limited amount of time. Now, that has expired and he has been left without a way to get one.

Scheckter does not speak Italian, and thus, the language barrier is stopping him from driving in Italy. He has called upon the help of his old team, Ferrari, to help him on his quest to get a new driver's license.

Recent statistics show that the two Red Bull drivers are in a bad spot. Rookie Isack Hadjar has outscored both Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda's total combined points from the last two races. Hadjar scored 14 points during the Monaco and Spanish Grand Prix's while Verstappen and Tsunoda only scored 13.

In actuality, only Verstappen scored 13. Tsunoda scored zero. Which is another issue. Tsunoda has only driver 105 laps in the top ten while at Red Bull. Verstappen has driven more laps in first place, 179.
