Newey definitivamente não é a última vítima da luta pelo poder na Red Bull

A Red Bull Racing parece estar desmoronando lenta mas seguramente. A equipe parecia destinada a dominar a Fórmula 1 nos próximos anos, mas está desmoronando devido a uma luta interna pelo poder. Como você chegou até aqui?

Em 5 de janeiro deste ano, uma coluna apareceu no GPblog com o título: A extensão do contrato de Marko mostra que a Red Bull sabe como vencer na F1. Um elogio à Red Bull Racing que, apesar da morte de Dietrich Mateschitz, parecia capaz de manter o grupo unido. Todas as pessoas importantes assinaram novos contratos. Não havia problemas.

Como as coisas realmente se tornaram diferentes pouco tempo depois. Desde a morte de Mateschitz, um interessante jogo de poder vinha ocorrendo em segundo plano. Mateschitz tinha poder total para tomar decisões esportivas, apesar de ter 49% das ações. Com a morte do austríaco, esse poder perdeu-se e as decisões esportivas também voltaram para as mãos do tailandês Chalerm Yoovidhya, que possui 51% da Red Bull.

Como Horner tenta tomar o poder

Desde então, Horner tem sido visto visivelmente com o tailandês e também tem sido vinculado à equipe pelo proprietário durante a investigação sobre ele. Embora a Red Bull Áustria, Helmut Marko e a equipe de Verstappen preferissem que Horner saísse, Yoovidhya insistiu em manter Horner como diretor da equipe. Isso também não parece estar mudando por enquanto.

Com as rédeas firmemente em suas mãos, Horner agora segue a política de que “ninguém é maior do que a equipe”. Helmut Marko quase foi expulso por Horner, mas isso foi evitado no último minuto. Provavelmente porque a equipe teria perdido o piloto estrela Max Verstappen. Teria sido a segunda vez que Horner tentou se livrar de Marko, duas vezes sem sucesso.

O outro lado da equipe também não tem mantido as coisas exatamente em silêncio dentro da equipe. De acordo com a Red Bull Racing, Helmut Marko foi quem revelou que a Red Bull Powertrains estava atrasada. Isso colocou o projeto de Christian Horner em maus lençóis. Esse teria sido o principal motivo para Horner querer se livrar do principal consultor da Red Bull GmbH. Sem sucesso, em outras palavras.

A equipe de Verstappen também foi muito clara. Além de Max Verstappen ter deixado claro que sairia se Helmut Marko fosse demitido, Jos Verstappen também se manifestou sobre o diretor da equipe, Christian Horner. Este último, segundo Jos, precisava renunciar para realmente trazer a paz de volta.

Depois de todos os ataques públicos, seguiu-se um cessar-fogo. Após o Grande Prêmio da Arábia Saudita, pouco mais foi dito por ambos os lados. No entanto, está claro nas entrelinhas que a paz está longe de ser assinada. A zombaria de Horner com Marko após as declarações sobre o contrato de Carlos Sainz foi particularmente notável.

Newey é a primeira, mas certamente não a última vítima

Adrian Newey é a primeira vítima de toda essa novela. A investigação sobre Christian Horner não seria a única razão pela qual Newey quer deixar a equipe, mas claramente não ajudou o relacionamento entre os dois. Horner trouxe Newey para a equipe e conseguiu manter o designer de ponta a bordo por um longo tempo. Agora, no entanto, o vínculo entre os dois parece ter esfriado.

É a primeira e certamente não a última vítima dessa luta pelo poder. Muito dependerá da nova investigação sobre Christian Horner. A mulher que apresentou as acusações recorreu e ainda espera que lhe seja dada razão. Se ela estiver certa, ainda não se sabe se Horner poderá continuar como diretor da equipe de F1.

Se o recurso também não der em nada e Horner continuar na equipe, a paz também não voltará. O GPblog ouviu anteriormente que a equipe de Verstappen está pensando em sair mesmo que Horner permaneça. Além disso, os Verstappen querem que as pessoas importantes fiquem. Com a saída de Newey, isso já está fora de questão.

Quando parecia que a Red Bull havia encontrado a chave para o sucesso na F1, as coisas mudaram completamente em menos de meio ano. A calma total na equipe se transformou em uma luta interna pelo poder. Isso nunca beneficia a equipe. Horner pode argumentar que ninguém é maior do que a equipe, mas quando você perde Newey e, potencialmente, Verstappen também, é difícil imaginar que a equipe continuará a ter o mesmo desempenho.
