Max Verstappen has pulled back the curtain on how he dealt with the situation of his father Jos Verstappen and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner being at loggerheads against each other early in the year. The driver points out that the most important thing for him was that there was a clear channel of communication and a working relationship was maintained.
The start of the season was a tumultuous time for the team internally when it came to the politics of it. According to reports, Horner was being investigated for inappropriate behavior with his colleague, and at the same time, Jos led calls to get the team boss to leave the squad.
While this happened at the start of the season, it continued throughout with Jos Verstappen often using media outlets to make critical remarks about Red Bull whenever key personnel left the team. First, it was Adrian Newey, then when the same happened with Jonathan Wheatley as well, Max Verstappen's father was quite vocal in the media.
