AS A team they're practically unbeatable, their fortunes propelled by the seemingly unstoppable power of wonder boy Max Verstappen - but the scandal surrounding the guy at the helm of Red Bull could well end up putting the brakes on their winning streak.
Christian Horner, husband of Geri Halliwell and Red Bull's team principal, may have been cleared of dodgy behaviour towards a female colleague but his woes don't end there.
For one, there's no love lost between the 50-year-old boss and the father of his most valuable team member.
Max's dad, Jos Verstappen, has warned it could be disastrous for the team if he remains in the top job.
FROM THE PIT TO THE PADDOCK
Christian made history after he became the youngest F1 team principal when he joined Red Bull at the age of 31.
His family has long been involved in the motor industry and his father, Garry, set up Arden International, a racing team that competes in Formula Regional European, BRDC British F3 and British F4 championships.
Christian spent his early years racing for the family business but quit his driving career at the age of 25 because the pressure of professional racing was getting to him.
He then moved into management, taking over the reins at Red Bull Racing in 2005 and steering them through 19 seasons.
Under his leadership, Red Bull Racing has won six Constructors' Championships and seven World Drivers' Championships.
Not only is he Fl's longest serving team boss, he's one of the most successful in the history of the sport.
After the sexting allegations surfaced, Christian told Sky News he has "absolutely not" thought about resigning. "I am fully committed," he said.
"There's tension here while he remains in position," Jos says. "He's playing the victim when he's the one causing the problems."
