Guenther Steiner has issued a warning to Christian Horner, suggesting that the Red Bull team principal’s position could become precarious if the team’s struggles continue. This comes after criticism from Jos Verstappen, who has been vocal about his discontent following Red Bull’s recent performance in Singapore.
Red Bull is currently preparing a significant upgrade package for the upcoming United States Grand Prix, facing immense pressure as they seek to turn their fortunes around. After a dominant start to the season, they have now gone eight races without a win and find themselves trailing McLaren by 41 points in the Constructors’ Championship.
This decline has also affected the Drivers’ Championship standings. Max Verstappen, who once held a seemingly insurmountable lead, is now under threat from Lando Norris. Norris has been making impressive strides, bolstered by a competitive car and the support of his teammate as he aims for his first World Championship.
The combination of internal criticism and external pressure has put Horner in a challenging position, making it crucial for him to address the team’s issues promptly to regain their competitively edge.
