Reigning world champion Max Verstappen opened the 2024 Formula One season with another commanding victory but it is the controversy surrounding his Red Bull team that provided the headlines in Bahrain.
The Red Bull Formula One team is at risk of “exploding” if under-fire Christian Horner stays on as team principal, said Jos Verstappen, the father of three-time champion Max Verstappen.
Formula One’s crisis-hit Red Bull team insists it remains “united” after Max Verstappen’s father, Jos, claimed it is “in danger of being torn apart” if Christian Horner remains in his role.
Jos Verstappen, the father of three-time reigning Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, has claimed that the Red Bull team will "explode" if team boss Christian Horner, recently cleared of charges of "inappropriate behaviour" towards a female employee, remains in his job. "There is tension here while he (Horner) remains in position," the former Dutch Formula One driver told the British newspaper Daily Mail in Sakhir, a few hours after his son's triumph at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday. The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode," said Verstappen.
Embattled Christian Horner has said his “focus is on this team, my family, my wife and racing” as he started the Formula One season by walking hand-in-hand with wife Geri Horner at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Three-time world champion Max Verstappen began his title defence in flawless fashion on Saturday when he guided his Red Bull team to a crushing one-two triumph, ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez, at the Bahrain Grand Prix. In a statement of emphatic superiority, the 26-year-old Dutchman came home 22.5 seconds clear of Perez, who started from fifth, to ease some of the pressure on team boss Christian Horner. Pole sitter Verstappen held off the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc to lead into the first corner, and it was business as usual from there to the flag as he enjoyed the perfect start to his quest for a fourth consecutive title.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen delivered a chilling warning to his Formula One rivals as he won the opening race of the season in Bahrain on Saturday with ease.
Christian Horner continues to fight for his Formula One career following a string of allegations against the Red Bull team principal.
