An F1 insider has opened up about an alleged heated argument between Christian Horner and Max Verstappen's father.

Max Verstappen has clearly indicated to Red Bull that he remains committed to the team despite the fallout following Christian Horner ’s departure. On Wednesday, the 51-year-old, who had been at the helm since 2005, was sacked from his role as team principal and CEO with immediate effect.

Max Verstappen ’s manager Raymond Vermeulen insists Christian Horner ’s sacking “changes nothing” regarding the Dutchman’s commitment to Red Bull Racing. Horner, 51, was sensationally relieved of his duties as Red Bull F1 CEO on Wednesday morning, with Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies replacing him.
