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.

One of the longtime leaders at Red Bull is gone. The four-time champ has the power to completely tear the dynasty to the ground.

There's never a dull day in Formula One and today is no different, with Red Bull having confirmed Christian Horner 's surprise sacking. It's sent a shockwave across the Formula One world, given Horner had been the longest-reigning Formula One team principal, after originally taking charge in 2005.
