The quiet after the storm?
“If he continues to occupy his position this team will implode”. Jos Verstappen he left Bahrain uttering venomous words towards rival Christian Horner. The potential 'implosion' of the Milton Keynes stable was summed up thusly by Gerhard Berger: “If Horner remains in the current state of affairs Adrian Newey and Helmut Marko will leave and Max Verstappen will go to Mercedes.”
An apocalypse outlined by the former Austrian pilot, an extreme scenario to say the least. After the events in Bahrain, the 'negotiations' to lower the tone seem to have resumed. As reported by the news agency PA yesterday in Dubai Christian Horner met Max Verstappen's manager Raymond Vermeulen in Dubaia meeting that according to a source reached by the news agency went “very well”.
In parallel with this meeting the Times underlines that Jos Verstappen's agenda should keep Max's father away from the paddock until mid-May when the Circus will play its first race in Europe at the Emilia Romagna and Made in Italy Grand Prix in Imola. Attempts at a 'truce' after a fiery first weekend of the year? The weekend in Jeddah will give many indications in this sense, with Max Verstappen once again risking being 'pulled out' in the various press conferences in an attempt to get the three-time world champion to take a stand. For now, Verstappen has always managed to dodge the uncomfortable questions about whether or not he supports Christian Horner by always making generous use of 'politician'.
