There's also a second level of drama within the Red Bull team.

It's divided into an 'old' guard, with Marko in the lead and the 'new' guard formed by an investment group from Thailand headed by Yoovidhya. These two have been having a power struggle since Mateschitz died. This has lead to the dirt on Horner coming out, Newey leaving the team and Jos Verstappen publicly airing the dirty laundry and stirring the pot as he does.

Marko hates Perez, because he's an old racist bastard who hates everybody with a bit of a skin color. So he wants him gone, but for some reason the other faction within the teams want to retain Perez. I'm not sure why, because he has been under performing, but the Thais keep everything to themselves so we don't know.
