Martin Brundle believes Max Verstappen is likely to stay at Red Bull next season following the news that Christian Horner has been relieved of his duties as the team’s F1 CEO. Horner, 51, has been in charge of Red Bull Racing since its inception in 2005 but will be replaced by former Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies after a shock announcement on Wednesday morning.

Martin Brundle has claimed that a lack of harmony inside the Formula One paddock preceded Christian Horner ’s exit from Red Bull. Horner has been sacked as the team principal after 20 years, in which he claimed a combined 14 Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
