On Monday, Christian Horner met with Max Verstappen’s representative in Dubai and held talks in an attempt to somehow defuse the increasingly tense situation within Red Bull Racing.
This fact was of course reported by Sky Sports without providing any details. If rumors that Mohammed bin Sulayem, the president of the FIA, personally asked the three-time world champion to speak out publicly in support of Horner, are true, then this news seems quite logical.
After an ideal start to the season, with Verstappen and Sergio Perez securing the team’s double, Horner expects to remain at the helm of Red Bull Racing during the weekend in Saudi Arabia.
When asked directly after the finish of the Bahrain Grand Prix whether he would retain the position of leader of the championship team, Horner replied: “Yes of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
Speaking to the press in the paddock at the Bahrain circuit on Saturday evening, he admitted that the past few days “have not been pleasant”, but confirmed that he hopes to not only remain at the helm of the team, but also his maintain position. position as CEO of Red Bull Racing Ltd. at least until the end of the season.
