Due to the Christian Horner controversy, Max Verstappen may leave Red Bull.
According to reports, Max Verstappen may be able to leave Red Bull Racing with his wings due to the continuing Christian Horner issue.
According to The Telegraph, Verstappen’s father, Jos, informed friends that his son Max would be leaving the Formula 1-based team if Horner remained in charge. Verstappen is a three-time World Champion driver.
Following his exoneration from an internal workplace misconduct inquiry into “coercive behavior,” Horner—who has led Red Bull’s racing division since the company’s founding in 2005—saw the release of hundreds of text messages and images between him and a female employee.

Even though Horner says he “fully cooperated,” specifics about the contents are unknown.
Recently, Jos Verstappen demanded that Horner resign. Last week, the two allegedly got into a heated argument.
Following his son’s victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix, Jos had previously told the Daily Mail, “There is tension here while he (Horner) remains in position.” “There’s a chance this team could fall apart.” Things cannot continue as they are. It’s going to blow up. Even though he is the one creating the issues, he is acting as the victim.
Due to his son’s success with Red Bull, Jos Verstappen refuted claims that he was engaged in the email leak and had no desire to obstruct the process.

Following Sunday’s race, Wolff played down, but he did not rule out the idea of starting Max Verstappen in the starting lineup.
According to Wolff, “I believe the driver will always select the quickest car.” That is the main idea behind everything. Since the Red Bull is currently the fastest car, that will always take precedence in my book.
