Horner claims Marko pushed for Liam Lawson’s premature Red Bull promotion, told Lawson about the seat before the 2024 finale and then denied doing so when challenged. Horner says he felt uncomfortable with the move and believes it damaged Lawson’s confidence. Marko has now dismissed Horner’s wider account as a “collection of untruths”, turning their Red Bull split into an increasingly public war. 🧡 F1 NEWS: McLAREN’S PIASTRI REPLACEMENT? McLaren have confirmed reigning F2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli will race in their new Hypercar programme in 2027 while remaining the F1 team’s reserve driver. That makes him an obvious internal option if a future McLaren seat opens. But Oscar Piastri remains under a long-term contract, McLaren continue to back him and there is no confirmed plan to replace the Australian. 🔵 F1 NEWS: WHAT MAX REALLY THINKS OF THE RB22 Red Bull technical director Pierre Waché says the car is now much more connected and that Verstappen finally likes the RB22 after wins in Malaysia and Singapore. Max may never call it perfect publicly, but Red Bull believe the Baku upgrade package has given him a far more predictable car — with more improvement still possible. ⚠️ F1 NEWS: QATAR & ABU DHABI TO GO AHEAD FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix will go ahead as planned based on the current security assessment. The situation remains under review, with contingency planning still available if conditions change. 👇 JOIN THE F1 DEBATE Who do you believe in the Horner-Marko feud? Was Lawson promoted to Red Bull too early? Could Fornaroli eventually replace Piastri? Is the RB22 now a genuine race-winning car? Should Qatar and Abu Dhabi go ahead if the FIA remains satisfied with safety? 👍 SMASH LIKE if you enjoyed tonight’s show and SUBSCRIBE for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 Live, F1 2026 and F1 2027 coverage. 🏁 Come for the vibe.
