Marco was in trouble after the Italian Grand Prix for criticizing Perez because of his Mexican nationality. “We know he had problems in qualifying and there were some fluctuations in his form,” Red Bull-owned Marco told Servus TV. “He’s South American and he’s not as focused as Max [Verstappen] or Sebastian [Vettel].

Marco later issued a public apology for his comments, which Perez accepted, but Kravitz, who was impressed by Horner in 2023, questioned whether more could have been done to contain the situation. Kravitz: Marco is an uncontrollable force

“The only way to judge Christian Horner this year is how he handles the Sergio Perez situation and his failure to deal with Helmut Marko,” Kravitz told the Sky Sports podcast.

“Helmut Marko is an uncontrollable, uncontrollable force. However, Marco’s nasty comments about Sergio Perez were quickly dismissed.

“Tell me what you want about Christian Horner. But it juggles some situations, some hot stones that don’t know how difficult they are, some unstable components and parts. Max Verstappen talks a lot about his car when he doesn’t like it. And his engineer can be seen having a short fuse on the GP radio. We know when things are not going well.

“He juggles Helmut Marko with the definition of a loose cannon. He is juggling his new boss at Red Bull Racing, Oliver Mintzlaff. Oliver Mintzlaff is looking for a way to run the racing program after the death of Dietrich Mateschitz.

“He juggles Checo Perez and lets Checo do what he wants again. “He deals with the political side of Formula 1, so given the amount he has to deal with, he does a great job.”
