The Belgian Grand Prix was the first race in Red Bull’s history without Christian Horner as team principal. His exit was confirmed just after the British GP, catching the entire F1 community off guard.

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.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen backed former boss Christian Horner before he got sacked by the higher-ups at the racing team.
