When asked if Jos had regretted comments made about Horner, the Bahrain winner replied: “I have not asked him that but my dad, from how I know him in go‑karting, is very outspoken and he is not a liar, that is for sure. My dad and I are very close. We call every day.”
Verstappen’s team-mate, Sergio Perez, has offered his unwavering support for Horner: “He does (have Perez’s backing). And I think not only my support but, the full team is fully behind him.
“He’s obviously a very important person in our organisation, and the job that he’s done over the years, speak for themselves. And I think Christian is a key team player in this organisation.”
