"The team is in danger of being torn apart, it can't go on the way it is - it will explode." Those were the words of Max Verstappen's father, Jos, amid the height of the Formula One soap opera storm two months ago in Bahrain surrounding Christian Horner and the investigation into his conduct towards a female colleague.
Verstappen Sr is not one to shirk his words. Let's be clear: whatever the reasons, he wanted Horner out. And though the dominance of his son on the track may seem never-ending, there may now be a conclusion of sorts in sight for this Red Bull juggernaut.
The departure of star designer Adrian Newey this week confirmed by the team on Wednesday - is the talk of the paddock heading into this weekend's sixth round of the season in Miami, the first of three US races in 2024. Newey, the man chiefly praised for this era of Red Bull car which has blown away the rest of the field in the last two years and counting, will leave early next year once work is complete on his RB17 supercar project. Most crucially, once gone, the 65-year-old is free to join another team.
