Max Verstappen ‘could leave’ Red Bull over Christian Horner scandal
Formula One world champion Max Verstappen could leave Red Bull over the scandal involving team principal Christian Horner, according to reports.
Horner, the husband of Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, has been accused of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ towards a subordinate female employee.
The 50-year-old was cleared by Red Bull on Wednesday after an internal probe reached a swift conclusion but the saga looks far from over after a series of alleged text messages leaked online.
The controversy surrounding Horner dominated the first F1 race of the season in Bahrain this weekend – despite his team Red Bull securing a one-two – with Verstappen and Sergio Perez finishing first and second respectively.
