Christian Horner issues "no individual is bigger than the team" warning to Red Bull star driver Max Verstappen.
The under-fire Red Bull team principal admitted he would not stand in the way of Verstappen if he wished to leave, but added he remains confident that the three-time world champion will still be a Red Bull driver next year.
"If somebody didn't want to be at this team, then you know, we're not going to force somebody against their will to be here. "He's been here since he was 18 years of age. And I have no doubt of his commitment and passion going forward. But you know, that's pretty much the way it is. No individual is bigger than the team.
"We listen to whatever Max has to say but the team will always make the right decisions for the team.” At the season-opener in Bahrain, Verstappen’s father, Jos, said he believed the Horner controversy was “driving people apart” and that the team would “explode” if the team principal remained in post.
