Max Verstappen could leave Red Bull over Christian Horner scandal

Reports suggest that Max Verstappen might leave Red Bull Racing due to the Christian Horner scandal.

According to The Telegraph, three-time World Champion driver Max Verstappen’s father, Jos, has indicated that Max will depart the Formula 1 team if Horner continues to hold power.

Despite being cleared in an internal misconduct investigation, Horner faced backlash when text messages and photos between him and a female employee were leaked.

It is known that Horner is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

Over 70 screenshots of communication between Horner and the employee were sent to Formula 1 figures via email, sparking further controversy.

Jos Verstappen has called for Horner’s resignation and tensions have escalated between the two.

Jos Verstappen has denied any involvement in the email leak and has expressed concern for the team’s future.

If Verstappen were to leave Red Bull for Mercedes, it would be a significant blow to the team.

Rumors of a potential partnership between Verstappen and Mercedes-AMG Petronas have circulated, with sightings of Jos Verstappen and Toto Wolff together at races.

While Wolff has not ruled out the possibility of adding Verstappen to his team, he emphasized the importance of having the fastest car.
