And what is even more interesting: Insiders have revealed that this addendum to the original contract was brought in unilaterally by the Verstappens and Marko, without the Red Bull Formula 1 team or Horner knowing anything about it at the time.
Marko was able to do this because he is one of two directors at Red Bull Racing and can therefore act on behalf of the team.
Yeah, I'm not buying this (red) bullshit. These contracts are the result of legal teams and lawyers. These are not the type of contracts that you scribble an addendum on with 2 or 3 people behind closed doors. Not even if you are Marko.
It is possible they involved lawyers to do it, just without the knowledge of Horner et al.
Not really I would think. Like I said, these contracts and their adjustments take complete legal-departments to set up. Horner is CEO, so I imagine it would be next to impossible for him to not know about such a significant change to a contract of his most important and highest paid employee.
But without the whole team knowing like the article suggests is way beyond impossible. That would mean the legal people were not even involved.
not the whole team, just Horner loyalists.
This exactly. The idea that Marko could have quietly snuck a clause in Max’s contract is ludicrous. With hundreds of millions of $$$ at stake, you can bet any legal document is subject to serious scrutiny.
