SAD NEWS: Max Verstappen has opted to resign because to…

Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull, has been accused of inappropriate behavior towards a female employee. This has led to speculation that the three-time world champion could join Mercedes to take Lewis Hamilton’s spot, as Hamilton is slated to join Ferrari in the upcoming year.

Horner was cleared of all charges before the Bahrain season began, but the off-track drama persisted for several weeks.

The Dutchman Verstappen is under contract with Red Bull through 2028, but he hinted earlier in the season that he may think about leaving if longstanding mentor Helmut Marko was removed.

Red Bull would be “ripped apart” if Horner continued in his position, according to Verstappen’s father Jos.

Verstappen was relieved to learn that racing was once again the main topic of talk in the paddock this week in Shanghai.

“After 2021, I inked a long-term contract with the team. “The only thing I said from the beginning was that I wanted to have a quiet, pleasant environment,” Verstappen said to reporters.

I am already ecstatic about the car, as we have been talking about it lately.

That is also the right course of action. Naturally, as long as I am happy with the squad, there has never been a reason for me to quit.Verstappen hopes to win four races in a row in 2024, despite acknowledging that the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend will be unpredictable.

For the first time in five years, the Formula One circus makes its Shanghai International Circuit debut on Saturday with a sprint race.

Verstappen said, “Of course, there will be some uncertainty with the new cars.” “It is the same for everyone, of course.”

Sprint qualifying is scheduled for Friday, and Verstappen stressed the importance of the team figuring out the setup as soon as possible.

“We hope for a smooth opening race in which we don’t need to make many changes to the vehicle. It will be quite advantageous,” he said.

“I’m not too worried about it; time will tell.”
