Max Verstappen was left furious at Red Bull after a disastrous British Grand Prix, and Ralf Schumacher believes the Dutchman will be 'strongly thinking about leaving'

Martin Brundle believes Max Verstappen is likely to stay at Red Bull next season following the news that Christian Horner has been relieved of his duties as the team’s F1 CEO. Horner, 51, has been in charge of Red Bull Racing since its inception in 2005 but will be replaced by former Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies after a shock announcement on Wednesday morning.

Max Verstappen has clearly indicated to Red Bull that he remains committed to the team despite the fallout following Christian Horner ’s departure. On Wednesday, the 51-year-old, who had been at the helm since 2005, was sacked from his role as team principal and CEO with immediate effect.
