Jacques Villeneuve: Red Bull hat seinen Glanz verloren

Der ehemalige Formel-1-Weltmeister Jacques Villeneuve warnt, dass Red Bull nach dem Verlust von Schlüsselpersonal und dem Einbüßen des Wettbewerbsvorteils vor einem schwierigen Neuaufbau steht.

Villeneuve äußerte sich in der Sky Sports F1 Show nach dem Großen Preis von Barcelona-Catalunya. Er erklärte, dass das Team seinen "Glanz verloren" habe und beschrieb es als einen "sehr politischen Ort", der von internen Konflikten geprägt sei. Der Kanadier merkte an, dass sich Red Bull von Persönlichkeiten wie Christian Horner, Jonathan Wheatley, Helmut Marko und Adrian Newey getrennt hat. Er fügte hinzu, dass Max Verstappen neben dem Motor des Teams das herausragende Element bleibe. Red Bull liegt derzeit auf dem vierten Platz der Konstrukteurswertung. Villeneuve sagte, das Team müsse seine Führungsprobleme lösen, bevor eine Erholung beginnen könne.
