Errors under Horner ‘broke’ Red Bull
Max Verstappen’s manager, Raymond Vermeulen, has revealed that mistakes made at Red Bull under the leadership of Christian Horner ‘broke’ the F1 team. Horner was sacked from the role of team principal after the 2025 British Grand Prix, with the Austrian division deciding a major change was necessary. After 20 years at the helm, Horner was unable to lift the team from their 2025 slump. Verstappen’s dissatisfaction with the RB21 and driver changes added to the team’s struggles. Despite a challenging start, Verstappen’s resilience led to him narrowly missing out on the title by two points.
Vermeulen expressed that Max is now receiving the international recognition he deserves, following a season of ups and downs. Vermeulen highlighted Max’s turnaround in performance and the challenges faced with the Red Bull Racing team. He also noted Max’s exceptional talent on the track and the recognition he is finally receiving. Reflecting on the season, Vermeulen compared it to previous successes, emphasizing Max’s growth and remarkable achievements in 2025.
