July 9, 2025: “Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing"

Mekies allows Verstappen more freedom to overrule RBR engineers regarding car setup.

the graphic should read Jos Verstappen sacks Christian Horner after Dutch Grand Prix

that's the difference. Mark Webber and Oscar - both disrespected number 2 drivers, nobody listens to either of them.

Yeah I would also love to hear his Algerian rage in the RB22 Ford soap box ...:D

Don't get me wrong , Isack Alexandre Hadjar is doing great at Racing Bulls.

Me too and depends how he deals with the MAX factor, driver talent is slowly disappearing with the 50/50 hybrids coming and just another controlled measure like the tyres with so many rules to stifle driver skill.

Best post so far .. :D

But let's be honest for a moment (!)

Oscar Piastri is experiencing a significant amount of stress or a feeling of urgency to perform or succeed, often due to a demanding situation such as getting screwed by that a$$hole Zak Brown and his own McLaren clown pit strategy .
That's why Oscar looked "very pale" right after the Qatar GP .
As you can see..
Oscar looks deflated but not so much as to say 'I'm done' . He's slightly deflated rather than more visibly annoyed with swearing (which is also controlled) as to what Senna was at the Laren way of treating drivers the same, lets remember the Senna/Prost situation (how can we forget that) at Japan back in '89, the team having those two together giving an advantage to one would start WW3 with the teams reputation being overshadowed.
The papaya have always been like this and the best example I know is when the drivers took control with Coulthard waving Hakkinen through to win the '98 aussie GP all being down to a gentleman's agreement to whoever would be first into the first turn, DC earning himself untold respect for that.

Proposal for Zak Brown to keep morale up between his drivers: settle for WDC P2 and WDC P3, don't get that doomed 2025 WDC title. One of them getting the 2025 WDC title would make the other feel way too bad. Go for absolute equality and good team spirit, Zak.

Undoubtedly, Verstappen is kindly willing – in a Kimi Räikkönen 2007 fashion – to help Zak Brown achieving this noble goal. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Both Laren drivers know that if either one beats the other on merit and somehow equals with force MAX then there will be grins instead of scowls even whether MAX or one of the papayas wins the title.

It's actually two against two as its Oscar and Lando vs MAX and Mrs Hannah S.
