In an interview with the Daily Mail, Jos Verstappen, father of Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen, expressed concerns that the Red Bull team is at risk of being torn apart if Christian Horner remains as team principal. Horner, who has faced recent scrutiny following misconduct allegations, has denied the claims and expressed confidence in his position. Despite the controversy, Horner oversaw Verstappen’s one-two finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix, with Max’s father suggesting that the team’s tensions could lead to an explosive situation.
Following an internal probe that cleared Horner of misconduct, leaked WhatsApp messages between Horner and the complainant added fuel to the fire. Jos Verstappen denied reports that he is orchestrating Horner’s ouster, emphasizing his son’s success with the team. Despite the controversy, Red Bull’s majority shareholder publicly showed support for Horner at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Horner, when asked about his future as team principal, expressed confidence in his position and focused on racing and winning. He dismissed speculation about the leaked Google file, stating that his focus is on the team’s performance on the track. Despite the distractions, Horner is preparing for the next race in Saudi Arabia, where he will once again be in the spotlight as the team principal for Red Bull Racing.
