Jos Verstappen thinks Christian Horner will finish the 2024 Formula One season with Red Bull.
Red Bull banned the female employee after she filed accusations against Horner, but Max Verstappen’s father has backed her.

Red Bull is currently looking into Helmut Marko, possibly to find out if he was leaking information.
