Is Verstappen really siding with Marko? Max responds to rumours

There has been much talk in recent weeks about the allegations surrounding possible inappropriate behaviour by Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner. The relationship between Max Verstappen and the Brit is said to have deteriorated. The Dutchman has since responded to the rumours to Sky Sports and others.

The story is circulating that Horner and Max and Jos Verstappen do not get along as well. There is said to be an internal power struggle between Helmut Marko and Horner. In this, the Verstappen's would side with Marko rather than the Red Bull Racing team boss.

Christian Horner already responded that the relationship between him and the three-time world champion is still good. Max Verstappen also says the relationship is not damaged: "It is very good. We have seen each other quite a couple of times, I've been on the simulator, he was also there when we were filming. We have achieved a lot of things together so that doesn't change suddenly."
