Helmut Marko hits back at Christian Horner for “collection of untruths” amid bitter feud

Helmut Marko has criticized former Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner over claims published in his new autobiography, calling the memoir a "collection of untruths." Horner's book, titled Drive and released on October 22, accuses Marko of leaking operational data to the media and actively pushing for his July 2025 dismissal.

Speaking to Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, Marko rejected Horner's claim that he failed to reach out after the passing of Horner's former partner, Beverley Allen, reportedly showing his condolence message to the interviewer. Marko also labeled the book's publication date an "embarrassment," noting it coincided with the fourth anniversary of the death of Red Bull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
