Red Bull Racing's senior advisor has spoken out about Christian Horner's sudden departure from the team following the British Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen says Christian Horner’s shock dismissal as Red Bull team principal has “made no difference” to his decision over whether to stay at the team, adding “only time will tell” if it is the right move on the part of the team’s shareholders.

Helmut Marko has broken his silence over Red Bull’s decision to sack Christian Horner, revealing it was the consequence of “various factors”. Horner was axed by Red Bull in a bombshell announcement two weeks ago as Red Bull GmbH higher-ups called time on his 20-year tenure with the Formula 1 team.
