Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing, has addressed the controversy surrounding recent remarks made by senior advisor Helmut Marko about the team’s driver situation.

Horner added that external rumors about discord within the team were unfounded and that their focus remains on achieving success in the upcoming races. Despite the controversy, Horner emphasized that the team is united and fully committed to their goals.
