Fresh off securing their first drivers' and constructors' championship double since 1998, the McLaren CEO indicated the team will continue treating Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri equally heading into the 2026 Formula 1 season. McLaren wrapped up the constructors' crown with six races to spare, but the drivers' title went down to the wire. Norris edged out Red Bull's Max Verstappen by just two points in Abu Dhabi, becoming the 11th British world champion and the first McLaren driver to lift the trophy since Lewis Hamilton in 2008.

"It's a big loss for JGR, and it kind of makes you wonder what the general temperature is, I guess, when a guy like that's going to leave the building," he said. And why would anyone not be surprised? Gabehart, who spent time as Denny Hamlin's crew chief on the No. 11 Toyota, a partnership that produced 22 victories before he moved into the role of Joe Gibbs Racing's competition director in 2025, shifted roles, a move that reportedly caught Hamlin by surprise. Watching someone who has been so monumental for the team is definitely raising eyebrows. Following Gabehart's shift, Chris Gayle took over as crew chief, and the No.11 didn't miss a beat. Hamlin went on to earn a series-best six wins this year, including the…...

Working together with Christian Horner, the two of them built a team from scratch and went on to win six Constructors' and eight Drivers' championships. However, as the 2025 F1 season came to an end, neither of them is a part of the team. The team announced Horner's departure earlier in July. Further, as the season came to an end, Marko announced his exit. While the two worked together for a little over two decades in the team, internal tensions between them are now starting to come out in public.That raises the question: Was Christian Horner the man behind Marko's Red Bull departure?
