After the allegations against Christian Horner, Red Bull’s situation became volatile as more and more details came to light and fans wanted Horner to resign. Although Horner was cleared of the charges after the investigation, many refused to believe it. However, this revelation will just add more fuel to the fire.
Max Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull till 2028, so Berger’s words might be taken with a grain of salt but he is an important figure in the Red Bull team. There have been no official confirmations from any side, so all fans can do is wait for the situation to unfold.
Helmut Marko is ready to let go of Max Verstappen
Red Bull advisor has made his opinion clear on Max Verstappen, should he choose to leave Red Bull. The 80-year-old reportedly stated, “As far as I am concerned: I will not stand in the way of Max.”
Max Verstappen has been linked to a Mercedes transfer ever since the drama with Christian Horner began. He is currently the hottest candidate for the German team after Lewis Hamilton’s transfer to Ferrari in 2025.
