Max Verstappen's future was in the headlines even before Red Bull sacked Christian Horner as team boss. But will that decision influence the four-time F1 world champion's call on whether he stays or goes?

As shocking as Christian Horner’s exit is, the biggest question it has raised is: what does this mean for Max Verstappen's future?

Max Verstappen ’s manager Raymond Vermeulen insists Christian Horner ’s sacking “changes nothing” regarding the Dutchman’s commitment to Red Bull Racing. Horner, 51, was sensationally relieved of his duties as Red Bull F1 CEO on Wednesday morning, with Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies replacing him.
