In response to these reports, Horner dismissed the speculation, emphasizing the pivotal role Marko has played in his own career and the team’s success. He referred to Marko’s contributions as “very valuable” within the team.
Marko, on the other hand, downplayed the rumors and attributed them to a lack of real news, stating, “I think we are winning too much! There is no real news, and now something has to be played up.” He asserted that while there might be minor differences of opinion, the overall team structure and climate remain intact.
