In an exclusive chat with ESPN, Horner spoke about Marko and how the Austrian can create headlines from his raw and unfiltered statements. Marko openly states what is on his mind, which Horner feels is quite similar to the late F1 legend Niki Lauda.“He’s a communication manager’s nightmare. When he goes rogue, then you guys [the media] only have to prod him and you’ll get a headline. But he just calls it as he sees it. He will tell you exactly what he thinks which in many respects is very similar to how Niki Lauda was,&quot; Horner said.“That same generation, same makeup in many ways. But there’s a great respect for Helmut and what he’s done and contributed over the years and at 80 years of age, he’s still looking for purple sectors,” he added.RBR News 🇳🇱🇲🇽@redbulletin🗣️| Horner on Helmut Marko’s way of operating: if they can't survive Helmut, they'll never survive F1“He's a tough operator with the junior drivers but if they can't survive Helmut, they'll never survive F1.”“He's a communication manager's nightmare.
