Red Bull F1 Team ‘Will Explode’ if Horner Remains According to Jos Verstappen

Jos Verstappen, father of dominant Formula 1 World Champion Max, says Red Bull Racing risks “being torn apart” if Christian Horner remains at the helm.

Horner was the subject of an investigation by Red Bull GmbH, parent company of Red Bull Racing, after a female employee lodged a complaint over alleged inappropriate behavior.

Red Bull GmbH dismissed the complaint on Wednesday but less than 24 hours later an anonymous email was sent to hundreds of journalists, and senior Formula 1 figures, purporting to be associated with the case.

Horner defiantly remained prominent in the paddock in Bahrain, with wife Geri by his side on Saturday, and on the pre-race grid posed for photos with Chalerm Yoovidhya, the Thai who owns the majority of Red Bull, and who is a rare figure at grands prix.

Verstappen Sr. has had a hugely influential role in the career of his son, training him from a very young age, and while he has scaled back his involvement in recent years, he is still a prominent figure in the paddock, and a regular fixture in Red Bull’s hospitality area.
