Jos Verstappen Spark’s Fire at Horner over ‘STUPID’ Red Bull team-mate suggestion
Jos Verstappen, father of reigning Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen, has expressed his frustration with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner following comments made in the aftermath of the Singapore Grand Prix.
In a fiery social media post, the elder Verstappen sharply criticised Horner’s praise of simulator driver Sébastien
Max Verstappen delivered a strong second-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix, holding off the Ferraris and Oscar Piastri’s faster McLaren despite Red Bull’s struggles with their setup earlier in the weekend.
The turnaround, according to Horner, was significantly aided by the efforts of Buemi, who worked through the night on Red Bull’s simulator.
“Sébastien Buemi was essential in helping us turn things around,” the Red Bull chief told the media in Singapore.”He was consuming plenty of Red Bull to keep him going. The whole team worked long days and nights, and Buemi played a key role in achieving that result.”However, Jos Verstappen was unimpressed with Horner’s statement, especially regarding the impact on Max’s performance. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), he bluntly responded: “Stop with that stupid nonsense,” before swiftly deleting the post.
