Horner could have been fired to keep Verstappen.
The European press continues to discuss the dismissal of Christian Horner from his role as head of Red Bull Racing. One version suggests that the reason for his dismissal was the Austrian management's desire to retain Max Verstappen. German F1-Insider reports that, according to their information, the reigning world champion stated that Horner's dismissal was a prerequisite for him to stay at Red Bull Racing beyond 2025. Knowing that the Verstappen family, especially Jos, had tense relations with Horner, such a demand from Max was quite possible. However, Verstappen's manager, Raymond Vermeulen, told Dutch De Telegraaf that he was not aware of the reasons behind Christian Horner's dismissal. "The Red Bull management informed us of the decision in advance," Vermeulen said. "Red Bull should provide additional explanations for the reasons. As for us, we continue to analyze sporting results and strive for greater efficiency to return to the top. Nothing has changed in this regard."
