Horner: There is too much talk surrounding Max.

      Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner is not happy that the press continues to discuss the possibility of Max Verstappen moving to Mercedes. He believes it distracts the team and the driver…

      Christian Horner: "There’s too much talk around Max, too much unnecessary noise – it irritates him. We have a contract with Max until 2028. Everything that is said about his possible move is pure speculation. We try not to pay too much attention to it.

      I can imagine that George Russell is upset that he still doesn’t have a contract, but that’s solely between him and Mercedes. As for Max’s situation, we have a clear understanding and, obviously, Max does too."
