CHRISTIAN Horner and Max Verstappen’s dad Jos were seen locked in what looked like a fiery argument during the Formula One season opener. Jos even said Horner’s Red Bull Racing team would “explode” if he remained in the top slot and could be “torn apart”. Jos bluntly told press after Max bagged a win in the F1 opening race: “There is tension here while he [Horner] remains in position. “Why would I do that when Max is doing so well here?”. Now his row with Horner has left son Max, 26, in an awkward position and could drive a bigger wedge through the Red Bull team. Jos can frequently be seen behind the scenes at Red Bull during the race weekends and takes pride in supporting his son publicly.
