Why Red Bull Did Not Tell Marshall To F**K Off

Horner started off by explaining how Marshall’s move came to be

“After 17 years, he got an offer, a significant offer from McLaren and whilst he still had a period of time left on his contract, he was keen to go back into Formula One”

“And so, we came to an agreement with him and negotiated a deal with Zak [Brown] that worked for everybody”

He then revealed why they didn’t give Marshall the traditional Red Bull send off

“So we did a little thing for him at the last debrief, where usually when somebody leaves the team, we tell them to f*ck off”

“With Rob, it's a little bit different. You know, he's a good guy. And he's just going on to a new challenge”

He signed off by suggesting that dealing with people moving to other challenges is natural when running a team

“It's a little bit like Manchester United, if you look at their team, how it evolved over a period of time. Eric Cantona still wasn't playing 17 years later”

Mercedes driver George Russell suggested that “it’s not the sidepods that make the difference”

“It may be a factor, but the magic isn’t in the sidepods. The magic was done underneath the car, on the floor” [Sky F1]

“That’s the same for every single team. I’m sure Red Bull could put no sidepods on their car and still be the quickest”

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso is of the opinion that “until the regulations change in 2026, Red Bull will contend for the championships” [PA News]

“So, there will be many chances for Max [Verstappen] to win races”

“He is young, the calendar is longer than ever before, with 24 opportunities to win every year, he can break the records along the way”

For Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, “from a sporting point of view, it has been a year that started complicated” [El Larguero]

“Still, I cannot complain, and I am doing well. Formula 1 is always relative”

“The car Red Bull has made is one of the most dominant and Mercedes seems to have found the right direction”

Pirelli chief engineer Simone Berra reiterated “that that the final decision [regarding tyre warmers] will be made by the teams” [Motorsport]

“We have already presented good products to the FIA and teams. They can evaluate those”

“Driving without tyre warmers in Formula 1 is a goal that can be achieved”

Alpine’s Esteban Ocon claimed that “the press likes to talk a lot [about him and Fernando Alonso], but everything is going well”

“I have enormous respect for him and always will”

Williams driver Alex Albon hopes that “when [they] go to a track like Canada, [they] can do a bit better”
Will Max Verstappen break the all-time record for wins in F1?
