F1: Max Verstappen did not play a role in FIA expert Johnny Herbert, says Red Bull chief Christian Horner | F1 news
Red Bull team director Christian Horner says Max Verstappen did not play a role in Johnny Herbert’s exit as a F1 driver leader.
FIA, a sports management body, announced on Wednesday that they “agreed with each other” with Herbert that they would not mark their pool of former drivers for long because of the works of a 60-year-old in the media “incompatible” with the manager.
Through the quotes of days on the betting website in the 2024 season, Herbert criticized Verstappen’s ride in the last deciduous Grand Prix in Mexico City – for which Briton was at the manager’s panel – in the comments that attracted anger and Dutch driver and his father, Jos, Jos, Jos, Jos, who returned through the media.
Verstappen was handed over to this Mexican race for conflict with McLaren’s race title in 10 seconds in the race in the Mexican race.
Horner said that this week’s development was unrelated to his driver, adding that in agreement with the FIA move to withdraw the difference between the two roles going forward.
“First, it has absolutely nothing to do with Max. But it’s an absolutely true decision,” Horner said Sky Sports News at the Autosport Awards.
“You can’t have managers working in the media.
“You don’t have it in the premiere, you don’t have it in any other form of professional sport. It is completely inappropriate. Either you are on a foreign sports regulation page or you are on the media side.
“You can’t have a foot in both camps.”
In his own statement posted on Instagram on Wednesday night, Herbert said he “thoroughly enjoyed” the role of the manager and that it was “difficult job”, but “difficult decisions … must be made”. He added that the managers would continue to treat the drivers and team staff with “the greatest respect and remain impartial.”
