Christian Horner’s long-time critic Jos Verstappen opens up about the management reshuffle at Red Bull.
Jos Verstappen discussed Christian Horner’s departure from Red Bull for the first time during the Belgian Grand Prix. Verstappen had previously called for Horner to be sacked due to concerns about the team’s unity. Despite being cleared of allegations, Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies, known for his conciliatory approach. It remains uncertain if this change will secure Max Verstappen and Jos’s commitment to Red Bull until 2028. With the team under new leadership, the focus shifts to Max’s future and the potential for him to stay at Red Bull. Toto Wolff denied using interest in signing Verstappen as a ploy to oust Horner.
