Max Verstappen breaks silence on Horner investigation
Max Verstappen has spoken for the first time about the investigation into his Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
Speaking to the media on the final day of pre-season testing on Friday, Verstappen said it would be nice for everyone when the investigation is resolved.
“I mean in terms of talking about that, it’s not that suddenly sat here, that I can speak about things,” Verstappen said. “So it’s better that I just focus on my own performance because that’s already the day job.
“But I guess, of course, for everyone, it’s nice, of course, when things are resolved. But that’s the only thing that I can say about that.
“Everyone who is here, they’re all focusing on the performance of the car, as they should. Everyone knows their role and everyone is very focused on trying to make the whole package faster.”

Red Bull’s most dominant season in F1 history
Christian Horner has guided Red Bull to six constructors’ titles and seven drivers’ championships during his time with the Formula 1 team.
But last year was the most dominant, not just in Horner’s career but also in the history of F1, with Red Bull winning 21 of 22 races in the 2023 season.
The win percentage of 95.45 per cent beat McLaren’s previous record from 1988.
Max Verstappen’s drivers’ championship win, his third in a row, also broke the record for highest Grand Prix win percentage for drivers, beating the previous record set by Alberto Ascari in 1952.
Verstappen won 19 out of 22 races and finished on the podium 21 times.
