Max Verstappen backed to follow Christian Horner out of Red Bull this year
F1 fans speculate about Max Verstappen potentially leaving Red Bull after Christian Horner’s departure.
Despite Horner’s exit as team principal and CEO, many believe it may not impact Verstappen’s decision.
There is a suggestion that the Verstappen family, including Jos Verstappen, may want to continue their association with Red Bull.
Last year, Jos Verstappen called for Horner’s removal due to misconduct allegations, creating tension within the team.
A poll showed that most fans think Horner’s sacking won’t affect Verstappen, who may leave if his contract allows it.
While some fans think Verstappen could stay until 2026, the majority predict his departure before then.
