Horner seen playing a 'dangerous game' as team chase car 'for only Verstappen'

Christian Horner is experiencing a challenging season with Red Bull Racing. Currently fourth in the constructors' championship, and with a difficult car that does not give Max Verstappen a shot at the world title, former Jordan and Jaguar technical director Gary Anderson believes he could potentially put Red Bull Racing at risk.

In his column for The Telegraph, Anderson shared his insights on the situation at Red Bull Racing. The Northern Irishman foresees a dire scenario if Verstappen decides to leave Red Bull Racing behind. Anderson believes Horner is playing a dangerous game at Red Bull.

Anderson believes that the team focused too much on achieving good results for Max Verstappen over the past year and a half, whereas over the master designer's time at the team, focus was on having a complete car.

He added: "Adrian had the mental philosophy of Red Bull for years how he went about his job and the car he produced. He had that vision of what he was trying to achieve and the vision of the things you need to do if necessary to rectify the situation. I do not think anybody else has that vision to change it. They are in a deep hole."

Over the recent days, there have been many rumours about Verstappen's future. Last Monday however, GPblog could report that the four-time world champion would prefer to stay, but that could change, supposedly, if team principal Christian Horner’s power is not scaled back.
