Red Bull says the team remains united

The unpleasant story, centering on Christian Horner, the head of Red Bull Racing, is far from over, and we have quoted some comments about it. In particular, Ralf Schumacher, like everyone in the paddock, who observed the development of events from the side, said: “The war of nerves continues – either all participants will eventually have to apologize to each other, or someone will have to leave. ”

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Jos Verstappen openly called for Horner’s resignation, and when asked whether he was behind the attempts to oust the team leader, the three-time world champion’s father replied: “Why would I do this if Behaalt Max had so much success with it? It would make no sense.”

A Red Bull Racing representative tried to correct Verstappen Sr.’s comments. to refute: “The team has no problems. The team remains united and we are fully focused on racing.”

Horner himself said the same, although he admitted that after the conclusion of the internal investigation at Red Bull, he had to oppose actions against him:

“The most important thing for me is racing. What people write is their business. But after this weekend my main task remains the preparation for the stage in Saudi Arabia, which takes place in a week.

I’m not going to comment on the motives of some of the individuals doing all this. I give all my attention to this team, my family, my wife and racing. I have the support of my great family, our great team, everyone on the team, and my job is to keep winning races and do what I can to do that. Let our results on the track speak for everything.”

On Sunday, multiple sources said that FIA president Mohammed bin Sulayem had already approached Max Verstappen to publicly support Horner. The federation emphasizes that it is discussing possible next steps with Formula 1 management. In general, this will be continued.
