Jos Verstappen has again spoken out about Red Bull Racing and Christian Horner. Max Verstappen's father highlighted that he warned Red Bull about people leaving the team and continues to suggest Horner simply "glosses over" problems. Jos Verstappen explained his viewpoint when speaking to Motorsport.com.

Many changes have happened to Red Bull's team. Chief designer Adrian Newey will be at Aston Martin in 2025, Jonathan Wheatley will be working on the Audi project, and it was also recently announced that Will Courtenay - Red Bull's chief strategist - will leave the Milton Keynes-based team and head to rivals McLaren. Verstappen senior has reiterated that he warned about this happening.

Jos Verstappen: 'Verstappen always gets asked'

"Yes, this is what I warned about. The team then says: 'Oh, it doesn't matter, we have someone else [who we can put on that position]. But it's too many people now [leaving]. And Max gets questions about it every time and so on. I think it's just not good, what's happening at the moment," Verstappen told Motorsport.com.

Max's father then spoke about Horner. The former F1 driver has already had several clashes with his son's team boss and once again he questions Horner's statements: "He [Horner] always glosses over it," Jos added.
