Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen has opened up on the sudden ousting of his former team boss Christian Horner.

With Christian Horner sacked from Red Bull, speculation has mounted regarding a potential rival he could invest in.

Former Formula One driver Vitantonio Liuzzi believes Christian Horner would be the "perfect choice" to replace Fred Vasseur if Ferrari parted ways with their team principal.

A member of Max Verstappen's family has dropped a huge bombshell after Christian Horner's shock Red Bull departure. On Wednesday, shockwaves were sent across the world of F1 after it was confirmed that Horner had left his roles as team principal and CEO of Red Bull Racing.

Bernie Ecclestone bluntly stated that his friend Christian Horner was an “idiot” in relation to the investigation against him for alleged inappropriate behaviour. Failing to act his age in Ecclestone’s opinion – the former F1 supremo suggesting Horner “thought he was 20” – the investigation serves as a potential contributing factor behind Red Bull’s decision to release Horner with immediate effect a year-and-a-half later.

Red Bull Racing have undergone a near-total transformation in their leadership over the past two seasons. Christian Horner’s exit, while not on his own terms, marks another significant shift in the team’s structure.
