I am not so much into gossip or rumours, and tend to skip any post related to Horner's situation. Yet having been around for a few years in corporates, I am fully confident about what I think I see; Horner is gunning for Domencali's seat.
He is under seige and narrowly saved his seat by winning the internal power struggle. But he knows there is a big element in the organisation now that has been forced to accept his authority. He is no longer the celebrated saviour of RB. This means he may not survive a next attack.
Het has been with red bull for (18?) Years in this position and there is no way up internally. He needs an exit.
If he is really planning to leave soon, it was a really big mistake to let Wheatley go.
He would be natural successor.
edit: btw, I don't see him wanting to leave, he has big plans with Red Bull. That's why he is fighting for the majority.
Jos is gunning for his seat, no need for a succession plan.
I dont understand what you mean by majority? He narrowly saved his ass getting the majority shareholder to back his bid to silence his opponents...
The whole episode was created to destabilize Horner and force him to quit. That to stop Horner taking over control of Red Bull GmBH as per his blueprint, backed by Yoovidhya. The Austrian side came up with a plan, but despite it's hooha, the plan failed as Yoovidhya was committed to execute the master plan where Horner would be the CEO and headquarters move to Dubai with many Austrian heads rolling. A truce has been made for the time being, those who created the storm, eventually cleaned it up and now it's an uncomfortable peace. How long is Yoovidhya going to delay his plans is question mark.
Jos is only going to clean the floor if he continues to exist. He is a collateral damage for Austrian side that has no significance. I even doubt Horner is forcing Max out with car starting to underperform. That would eliminate Max and Marko's influence in the team and cut the noise. Short term loss of success would help long term business plans. New driver that would replace Max would be someone that is going to be completely loyal to Horner. That's my 2 cents. Perez and Daniel are going to exist for quite a long time in the team. Reward for loyalty.
