“My dad will always stay with me, of course...'
Max Verstappen has insisted his father Jos Verstappen is “not in conflict” with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner .has made a fine start to his latest title defence, winning five of the first seven races of the F1 2024 season to establish a 48-point lead at the top of the Drivers’ standings. Red Bull ’s performance on track has remained fearsome despite the off-track saga surrounding the team in the early months of this campaign.
In the aftermath of the race, however, Verstappen Sr called for Horner to resign from his position, accusing the 50-year-old of “playing the victim when he is the one causing the problems.”Mr Verstappen also warned that Red Bull would “explode” if Horner remained in situ, with the reigning Constructors’ Champions “in danger of being torn apart.”
The reported tensions within the team have raised the possibility that Verstappen could join Mercedes as soon as next season despite holding a Red Bull contract until the end of the F1 2028 season. Verstappen reiterated his desire for Red Bull to keep the focus on performance adding: “There are a lot of pillars involved. When I jumped to Red Bull Racing , Christian is a pillar within that whole story.“We have said it many times now, we are very focused on the performance side of things at the moment and hopefully we can keep that going.
