Jos Verstappen and Christian Horner reportedly in "a blazing row" a💖t F1 Bahrain Grand Prix
Joꦍs Verstappen 🍒reportedly argued with Christian Horner in Bahrain and has called for the Red Bull boss to lose his job.
The father of Max Verstappen and the Red Bulꦡl team principal had a “blazing row” on Friday at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, the report.
Jos stormed out before returning to shake hands.
“There is 𝔍tension here while he remains in position,” Josꦬ then told the newspaper.
“Th𒁏e team is in danger of being torn a💜part. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode.
“He is playing the victim, when he 🧸is the one𝔍 causing the problems.”
Horner's 'affiಌliates' have told the Daily Mail that they believe Jos is actively trying to 🏅undermine his job in charge of the F1 team.
Jos denied being the source of the leaked alleged evidence from Horner's recent investigation which stunn🀅ed F1 this week.
"That wouldn't make sense," Jos told the newspaper. "Why would I do that when Max is doing so well ꧃here?"
Horner was cleared of wrongdoing by his F1 team's parent company earlier this week, after allegations against him from a female colꦯleagu🧸e. He has denied all the allegations.
But then an anonoymous email account spread what it claimed to be alleged evidence fro♏m▨ the investigation.
“I’m not going to c🐻omment on anonymous, speculative messages from an unknown source," Horner said after the🎶 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Before Saturday's race, the Red Bull chief ex꧃ecutive and team principal was joined in a very public show of support by his wife, the former Spice Girl ꦑGeri.
They held hands and kissed in full view of the public, and chatted 🐻in the Red Bull hospꦆitality area to other people too.
Significantly, Mr and Mrs Horner were joined prꦜe-race by Chalerm Yoovidhya, the Red Bull majority shareholder.
Yoovidhya is reportedly a key ally oꦉf Horner's within the 🧜company.
Red Bu𓂃ll dominated the first grand prix of the 2024 F1 season, with Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez finish♈ing second.
Horner later confirmed that he woul✨d remain in charge of the F1 team at next week's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix despite the ongoi๊ng situation.
