The Red Bull F1 team faces potential turmoil, according to Jos Verstappen, the father of driver Max Verstappen. Jos claims that if Christian Horner continues as the team principal, Red Bull is “in danger of being torn apart.” Despite recent controversies surrounding Horner, including misconduct allegations, he remains confident about staying in his role for the Formula One season. Verstappen asserts that there is tension within the team, suggesting it cannot continue in its current state and may eventually “explode.” Despite being cleared in an internal probe by Red Bull GmbH, leaked WhatsApp messages have added to the scrutiny surrounding Horner. Red Bull’s majority shareholder, Chalerm Yoovidhya, publicly supports Horner, but Verstappen denies attempting to orchestrate Horner’s removal. Horner, confident in his position, emphasizes his focus on racing and winning, brushing off attention from leaked messages. The controversy around Horner is expected to continue as the team prepares for the next round in Saudi Arabia in four days.
