‘If Christian Horner stays at Red Bull, Max Verstappen leaves’: Michael Schumacher’s ex-F1 brother Ralf is convinced ‘playing the victim’ by Geri Halliwell’s husband will end in world champion driver quitting
Formula One expert Ralf Schumacher believes that Christian Horner‘s refusal to leave Red Bull Racing will result in star man Max Verstappen quitting the team.
Horner was cleared of ‘coercive behaviour’ towards a female employee, though screenshots of a text conversation allegedly between the pair were leaked a day after via an anonymous email.
The husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, faced fresh turmoil after allegations were published in a bombshell 19-page investigation that named his accuser, while footage has emerged of the beleaguered F1 boss having a row with Jos Verstappen – father of his star driver Max.
Verstappen Snr exclusively told Mail Sport that the team would ‘explode’ if Horner remain at the head of the team. ‘He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing the problems.’ He added.
Schumacher, a former Formula driver and brother of legend of the sport Michael, shares a similar philosophy and is convinced Horner will drive away the three-time world champion.
‘If Christian Horner holds on to his seat with all his might,’ he told Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung. ‘He will not only damage Red Bull, he will also ensure that Max Verstappen leaves the team.’
The tensions within the team highlighted by Jos Verstappen raised speculation that Max could not only be on his way out of Red Bull but may even opt for a switch to bitter rivals Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton vacating his seat in 2025.
