Christian Horner is reportedly at risk of losing his job as Red Bull team principal after Max Verstappen and his entourage laid out their long-term strategic plans for the team. Verstappen has been with Red Bull since his second season on the F1 grid, but the four-time world champion’s future hangs in the balance amidst interest from Mercedes.
According to German outlet Auto Motor und Sport, his interest in remaining with the Milton Keynes squad hinges on Horner stepping aside, or having his ‘powers curtailed’. The tension between the Verstappen camp and Horner is nothing new. Jos Verstappen, father of the reigning world champion, was involved in a public feud with the 51-year-old during the early stages of the 2024 campaign and even publicly called for the Brit to step down from his position.
