Verstappen unveils new helmet

This is how Max Verstappen’s race helmet will look for next season…

Horner continued in role amid allegations

Neither Horner nor his accuser have been suspended and continue to work among 1,600 employees at Red Bull’s HQ.

Horner was seen on Thursday leaving his Highgate home for the first time since news broke of the bombshell allegations.

And yesterday, the F1 boss reportedly attended a hearing to determine his future at the company.

How to watch Formula 1: Drive to Survive

Formula 1: Drive to Survive is released exclusively on Netflix.

The series was executive produced by James Gay-Rees – who has previously worked on documentaries including Senna and Ronaldo – and Paul Martin.

Every series is available now on Netflix.

Horner denies all allegations

Horner issued an immediate denial on Monday, stating: “I reject these claims entirely.”

His defenders have claimed the accusations are part of a plot to oust him within the team amid an internal power struggle.

Rumours of unrelated internal issues within the team’s leadership have swirled since the death of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022.

Red Bull advisor breaks silence on Horner

Red Bull senior advisor Helmut Marko has broken his silence over the investigation surrounding team boss Christian Horner.

Horner is being investigated by Red Bull over allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female staffer.

Speaking ahead of Red Bull’s new car launch this evening, which Horner is set to attend, Marko reiterated that the investigation is an “ongoing process”.

“I can’t tell you that and I can’t say anything else on this subject,” Marko told OE24. “As long as the investigation is ongoing or there is no result, you won’t hear anything from me. It is an ongoing process.”

He was, however, confident about the team’s chances ahead of the new season: “Fortunately, our car is ready and we are well prepared.”

When will season 6 of Netflix’s Drive to Survive be released?

There are expected to be 10 episodes in the season.
