Max Verstappen “quite close” to Mercedes deal as Christian Horner told to “step aside”
F1 legend Johnny Herbert has called on Christianꦺ Horner to "step asid𝕴e" to avoid losing Max Verstappen to Mercedes.

Former F1 driver Johnny Herbert has suggested that Red Bull boss Christian Horner should resign amid the ongoing scandal and possibility of losing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to Mercedes.
Since the start of February, Horn൩er has dominated the headlines after allegations of inappropriate behaviour emerged.
Ahead of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing following an 𓃲independent investigation, seemingly bringing an end to the saga.
However, shortly after, alleged material - text messages and images - from ꦛthe investigation was leaked to accredited journalists, team bosses and team personnel.
The saga has continued to engulf the team with Jos Verstappen calling H෴orner to leave the team as it risked tearing the team apart, while Helmut Marko’s position has also been under scrutiny.
There was talk of Marko being potent𝓡ially suspended in Saudi Arabia whic🎀h led to a strong reaction from the reigning world champion that if Marko goes, he does as well.

“It doesn't help the situation f♈or Red Bull who have the best drive💙r in the world at the present time.
“And they're very close to pushing [Max Verstappen] out off the team, I've heard they are getting quite close with the deal with Mercedes. It seems like a stupid thing to do, their biggest asset is not the Christ꧙ian Horner sh✱ow.”
“It would be crazy for Max to leave because o👍f the situation. Jos has said it will be very destructive and rip it apart and I think it's gone on for far too long. In some respects, Christian should really think about it and step aside.”
Reꦅd Bull have dominated the openi෴ng two rounds of 2024, taking 1-2 finishes in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
