Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says offensive comments from Helmut Marko about Sergio Perez “weren’t right”. Horner’s remarks are the first time any Red Bull representative has commented on its motorsport adviser blaming Perez’s inconsistent form on his ethnicity. Marko issued a public apology for his remarks through Red Bull’s Servus television channel last week. Horner, who was talking to Sky Sports after first practice at the Singapore Grand Prix, also addressed why Red Bull as a team had not commented on Marko’s remarks until now. “Helmut is not an employee of Red Bull Racing,” he said. He is part of the wider Red Bull Group and they put that apology out through their Servus TV channel.”.
