Well KTM whacked 6 executives and kept 2. Not a good sign in my opinion. Their share price is tanking.
We all know once financial difficulties arise, the racing programs are the first to get axed.
I could see Red Bull stepping in and taking over. Well at least I could have seen this when Dietrich Mateschitz was still alive. Not so sure with his son as I don't really know much about him, and whether he shares the same passion for motorsports the way his father did. Then you have the Thai side of Red Bull, and who knows what their thinking is since decisions have to be made with both parties in agreement. Which was what saved Christian Horner from getting sacked; the Thai's wanted him around in that power struggle between he and One-Eyed Jack.
But Red Bull Racing is a different entity these days. Losing Adrian Newey in my opinion was the kiss of death for the Formula One project. Not that there aren't talented people at RBR currently, but they've lost a number of key pieces this season excluding Newey, and I am not convinced at all that without Newey they can remain at the top. Max is unbelievably quick, but McLaren and Ferrari seem to have overhauled them now. And were it not for Max, they'd be a midfield team at best imo since looking at Sergio Perez, there's not much in the way of results to be had. The junior team is still mired in the midfield, though Liam Lawson might be their answer for a number 2 driver. But I don't see any driver's championship for Red Bull next season at the rate Ferrari and McLaren are improving down the home stretch of this season.
