Red Bull Racing is not Max Verstappen Racing, warns Horner
Christian Horner responded to the criticisms of Jos Verstappen, who accused Red Bull of not favoring his son in Monaco. The boss of the Austrian team warns that the drivers are not the ones who decide who should be favored.

Is there a tension building between the Verstappen clan and Red Bull? While the Dutchman finally has a teammate capable of challenging him since the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, Jos Verstappen doesn’t see it that way. Max’s father has accused Red Bull of not favoring his son against Sergio Perez during the Monaco Grand Prix.
For him, Max Verstappen’s first position in the rankings should have allowed him to be favored. But Christian Horner, who stated that he would let his two drivers fight for the title, politely put the former Benetton driver back in his place.
In the end, both drivers are team players. They are part of a team. It’s not Sergio Pérez Racing or Max Verstappen Racing, it’s Red Bull Racing. They work for the team, they have a responsibility. » reminded the director of Red Bull.
They drive here a car designed by around 800 employees and produced for them. They are an important link in the chain, but it is important for them to realize that the team’s ambition is greater than theirs.
A great way to emphasize that the team comes before the interests of the drivers. It remains to be seen how this will translate on the track as Sergio Perez is now just 15 small points behind his teammate.
