Formula 1 is really alive in February. On the first day of the second month of the new year, Lewis Hamilton shocked everyone with his move to Ferrari. Just a few days later, all the attention was focused on Christian Horner, who is flying in serious trouble. There were speculations that the boss of the stable got into the middle of the “game of thrones”, in which the Verstappen family is said to be pulling the strings as well. However, Max resolutely denied such a thing.
It is a coincidence that a Dutch journalist was the first to report on the whole matter Erik van Haren, who is known for his close relationship with Jos Verstappen and his son Max? Well, according to the words of the competitor himself, obviously yes. Although we still don’t really know what exactly Christian Horner did, the media has been wildly speculating in recent weeks about the roles played by the company’s management in Salzburg, the Thai shareholders, Helmut Marko and even Max Verstappen.
However, the Dutch racer denies having anything to do with the whole thing. At the launch of the RB20 single-seater, he also denied that Horner’s investigation had any impact on their relationship. “I can tell you that our relationship is the same as before. I don’t know who enjoys writing such things, but it’s business as usual between me and Christian.” he declared Verstappenwhich he quotes Motorsport.com.
At the same time, the British portal informs that the journalists present at the presentation of the new RB20 single-seater were instructed, “so that they don’t delve too much into the investigation”. At the same time, Max made it clear to the world that the whole matter does not concern him and he has enough responsibilities on his shoulders without being distracted by something like that. “I will fully focus on my own performance and preparation to get in shape and be ready to drive and discuss with the engineers,” he declared Verstappen.
“Besides, my life is not just Formula 1. When I’m at home, I prefer not to think too much about F1 outside of scheduled training. There’s an awful lot going on behind the scenes that also affects my future, for example the world of virtual racing. So I have enough work at home anyway,” dodal Max.
His teammate also joined Sergio Perez. Journalists could not ask too much about this topic and the riders had to be instructed in this direction even more urgently. The Mexican used the question to call the whole team for unity. However, it is worth noting that neither of the pilots defended Horner and both took a fairly neutral stance. “We are a racing team and we just want to race. We want the whole team to stick together because we’ve been so successful.” Checo declared.
“It would be ideal if we keep it all together and just focus on the race. We know that Christian is a key player in our organization. It is important that we all focus on what we have to do – win titles and take the team forward as much as possible. That has to be the goal of everyone in our organization,” he said Pérez.
