Jos Verstappen has shared his perspective on Christian Horner’s future at Red Bull amid recent disagreements with the team principal. In allegations against Horner regarding ‘inappropriate behavior’ within the team, Verstappen Sr. initially supported the accuser and questioned Horner’s ability to lead a team poised for success in 2024 with his son Max Verstappen.
Despite their discord, Verstappen now anticipates Horner to remain in his position for the remainder of the season, citing support from the team owner as a significant factor.
Acknowledging the distractions caused by the ongoing saga, particularly affecting Max’s performance, Verstappen emphasized the detrimental impact of the situation on the team’s dynamics.
However, he foresees Horner retaining his role, considering the owner’s backing, albeit expressing concerns about the implications of this decision on the team’s morale.
Dispelling rumors of conflict, Verstappen clarified a heated discussion with Horner during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, attributing it to a passionate exchange rather than a confrontation. Despite their differences, Verstappen underscored their shared commitment to Max’s success and the team’s performance.
