News about Jos Verstappen

Max Verstappen's father Jos has reignited his feud with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. Jos Verstappen has been heavily critical of Horner in the past and was left frustrated following the Dutch Grand Prix as his son's winless run was extended to five races. Lando Norris won by 22 seconds, with Verstappen's father subsequently calling for Red Bull to analyse their mistakes.

JONATHAN MCEVOY IN SPIELBERG: The fizz is out of the can again at Red Bull, Jos Verstappen (pictured right) accusing his nemesis Christian Horner (pictured left) of stopping him taking part in the legends' parade ahead of Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix. To which Horner rejoined: 'I didn't veto it.' And so this bitter enmity is relit in the Styrian mountains, where Jos's triple world champion son will start Saturday morning's 24-lap sprint from pole position, having put the tumult aside in qualifying on Friday.

Jos Verstappen has renewed his bitter feud with Christian Horner just days after his son Max committed his future to the Red Bull team for 2025.  Triple world champion Max has decided to stay with the team next season, after his future had been a highly charged subject since his team principal Horner was engulfed by scandal earlier this year. Horner hung onto his job after he was cleared by an internal investigation into claims he coerced a female employee.

Jos Verstappen will return to an F1 race for the first time since telling Mail Sport Red Bull could be 'torn apart' if Christian Horner stayed on following the scandal that engulfed the team principal and organisation.  In a development that could prove to be explosive and awkward this weekend in Monaco, the father of world champion Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, is to be back in the fold and was pictured arriving at the famous circuit on Thursday afternoon. Horner, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, was cleared following a lengthy investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female colleague. 

The woman, who was suspended from her job at the company's UK headquarters, challenged the independent report that cleared Horner of any wrongdoing after she accused him of 'coercive behaviour'. A new barrister has reportedly been appointed to grill her ahead of the appeal and is due to speak to her within days. The reinvestigation could also see Horner - who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell - questioned on the matter again. Allegations of 'inappropriate behaviour' by Horner were dropped just a day before the first practice session at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

EXCLUSIVE: Horner, a 50-year-old Formula One boss, has been accused of 'inappropriate conduct' last month with the unidentified woman, but she has since been cleared of the probe. The university graduate is a Red Bull team chief, and after being cleared, she was suspended earlier this week due to the investigation. Officials said it was because she had been 'dishonest,' but sources have reported that she had been hanged out to dry, although Horner has kept his £8 million a year job. However, the woman has now received financial assistance from former Grand Prix ace Verstappen snr, 52, who is the father of current world champion Max Verstappen, Red Bull's prime chaser, has since turned to the woman.

Christian Horner's decision to leave Red Bull Racing will result in actor Max Verstappen's departure from the team, according to Formula One analyst Ralf Schumacher. Horner was not guilty of 'coerce conduct' against a female employee, but leaked screenshots of a text chat allegedly between the two employees were leaked a day after by an anonymous email. After reports of a bombshell 19-page probe that named his suspects, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's father suffered new shock, footage of the beleaguered F1 boss feud with Jos Verstappen - the father of his actor Max's father.

During the first race weekend of the season, all attention was on Horner, as well as his wife, Geri Halliwell, who arrived in the Middle East to stand together with her beleaguered husband. However, despite the public display of unity, Red Bull's unrest remains fierce. Horner has been called on by Jos Verstappen, the father of three-time world champion Max's, to leave or risked allowing the team to 'explode'.

The two warring F1 titans 'never really saw eye to eye in the first place,' but the employee's friendship with the employee has 'caused even more problems,' an insider says. According to the report,'very suave' Horner's link to'straight-talking and impulsive' Verstappen is now broken following the scandal and Jos' assertion that Christian risks Red Bull being 'ripped apart' by 'playing the victim' when he is the one causing the issues.' According to an insider, Jos seems to have been spending time with her while Christian was texting her, which has resulted in a lot of resentment between the two guys who never really saw eye to eye in the first place.' 'It's causing a real pain for Red Bull's president and the team's star driver to fight.' The latest twist in the story is adding to the heat on Red Bull and how they knew about the unidentified employee's connection with both men before Horner was found not guilty of wrongdoing six days earlier. MailOnline has asked the F1 racing team a string of questions over whether they will look into Jos' friendship with the woman and the nature of her friendship with Mr Verstappen and Mr Horner. When asked whether they would look into damaging allegations surrounding Horner, the team has advised the principal of no wrongdoing since the woman accused him of coercion behavior.

Barely a day goes by without F1 appearing on the front and back pages of the United Kingdom, as the Christian Horner saga continues to encapsulate the sporting world. Following an internal probe last Wednesday, the Red Bull chief was cleared of accusations of "coercion conduct" against a female coworker, according to a news of the charges on February 5. However, less than 24 hours later, an anonymously emailed leak of 79 documents proving Horner's sexually suggestive messages to the female employee at the center of the probe circulated among the sport's key figures, fueling the fire.

Christian Horner, according to reports, was barred from his birthday party, but Jos Verstappen dropped the majority of Red Bull's top brass.

According to reports, Jos Verstappen will not attend any forthcoming events, including this week's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and F1 team bosses, reportedly held 'clear-the-air' talks in an effort to calm what has rapidly escalated into a volatile situation. Horner, whose career and marriage with Geri Halliwell has been left hanging in the balance, has been caught on tape in Bahrain with a blazing spat between Verstappen senior and Verstappen senior.

Verstappen Sr's, his uncle, 26, the star's chief, and Helmut Marko, the Red Bull Formula One team's chief, were among the guests on Monday night. Despite the fact that team boss Christian Horner, 50, was still waiting in Dubai after the Bahrain Grand Prix, he was not invited along. It came as Jos was pulled deeper into the Horner scandal, amid allegations that he is associated with the woman convicted of sexting. Red Bull is also concerned about whether they knew about the anonymous employee's friendship with both men before the story broke last week. According to reports, Jos has been friends with the female co-worker who screamed about Horner for at least three years. In November 2021, they were all together on a yacht in Abu Dhabi, commemorating Red Bull's victory in a Grand Prix where his son controversially overtook Lewis Hamilton to win the World Drivers' Championship.

According to German reports, Christian Horner was a conspicuously absent figure at Jos Verstappen's birthday party in Dubai on Monday evening. After being caught in a tense debate after Friday's qualifying session for last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, the troubled team principal is said to be at loggerheads with the father of Red Bull's star driver Max. According to Mail Sport, Verstappen Snr believes that if Horner does not walk away from his role with Red Bull in the aftermath of the damaging leaked WhatsApp scandal that has engulfed the paddock, the champion constructor will 'explode.'

The Red Bull F1 press office's friendly staff continue to insist that all is well. Nothing to see, they say. 'There are no issues here.' According to a spokesman, the team is united and focused on racing.' But it has been a wild week for them, and, frankly, it's getting murkier by the day. To recap: Christian Horner, the team's £8 million-per-year chief, had not acted inappropriately with a female coworker last Wednesday, only to wake up 24 hours later to the widespread leak of a cache of'sexts' that had been sent by Horner to a female employee. The 79 files, mainly screenshots of discussion but also some photographs, are not reproduced here for legal reasons. Horner has reportedly pleaded persistently for photographs of herself, calling her late at night, and making it clear that she finds her sexually stimulating. For the briefest of moments, Horner's weekend at the Bahrain Grand Prix, the season's first Formula 1 series, was looking good. Max Verstappen, Red Bull's star, duly won the race, but it seemed as if the rumpus might die down and Red Bull would remain the dominant force in F1. Jos Verstappen joined the fray early in the game, that is, until he was officially introduced. a shot of Max (centre) and Horner (right) and Horner (also in a Red Bull shirt). Inset: Max and Horner

At the Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen gave beleaguered Red Bull team principal Christian Horner something to cheer about. Following an inquiry into former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's husband, the 50-year-old had been cleared of 'coercive conduct' against a female colleague going into the weekend. However, screenshots of a text chat allegedly between Horner and the individual who made the allegations were leaked via an anonymous email. The email was sent to top F1 figures and contained 79 papers that contained some messages of a sexual nature.

In recent days, Jos Verstappen (left, with Max) has consistently raged against Horner, arguing that the ongoing squabble has been 'destroying the team apart,' and that if he stays in place, tensions will arise. On Friday, they are seen on the right arguing. Verstappen Snr, who owns his son and watched him finish first in the Bahrain Grand Prix, has accused Geri Halliwell's husband (inset) of "playing the victim" and predicted that if he refused to stand down, the team would 'explode."

Christian Horner's brother says he should resign from his role as Red Bull's team principal. Horner was not guilty of 'coercion conduct' against a female employee last week, but leaked screenshots of a text chat between the two teams emerged a day after via an anonymous email. Geri Halliwell's husband is now facing fresh controversy after reports of a bombshell 19-page probe that named his suspects, according to a police leak, but a video of the beleaguered F1 boss clashing with Jos Verstappen - the father of his actor Max, has surfaced.

A 19-page inquiry into the case has been carried out by a Formula One trade magazine that has 5,000 followers, exposing a string of scathing new charges against beleaguered Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. It also names the female member of staff he is reportedly responsible for texting and records the power struggle at the top of Red Bull.

Following an inquiry into the Red Bull team's chief, who is also the husband of former Spice Girl Geri Haliwell, Horner was found not guilty of 'coercive conduct' against a female coworker last Wednesday. However, screenshots of a text chat alleged between the 50-year-old Horner and the employee that made the allegations were leaked via an anonymous email. The email was sent to top F1 figures and contained 79 documents that contained some messages of a sexual nature. Horner was previously involved in a blazing dispute with Jos Verstappen, the father of Red Bull star Max, according to Mail Sport.

Christian Horner, the Red Bull boss, is being asked to resign after a row over leaked bombshell text messages. The continuing drama, according to Jos Verstappen, who manages his world champion son Max, is "driving the team apart" and claimed that tensions were present as long as Mr Horner remained in office. Verstappen Snr, 51, a forensic journalist, accused Mr Horner of 'playing the victim' despite being the source of the team's dysfunctional, and that if he refused to stand aside, the team would 'explode.' Mr Horner saw his side take first and second place at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday, where he was seen embracing his wife, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, who put on a show of unity despite being allegedly'read him the riot act.'

According to reports, Max Verstappen could leave Red Bull if Christian Horner remains in his role. The Red Bull chief, who makes £8 million a year, was the subject of an internal probe into the past month after allegations of 'coercive conduct' against a female colleague were laid against him, before he was cleared on Wednesday. However, several messages that were supposed to be between Horner and his accuser were later leaked by anonymous email, contributing to the general confusion.

Sergio Perez was delighted to see him on the podium at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and everyone at Red Bull was ecstatic to see him on the top step of the podium. Well, almost everybody. Jos Verstappen, one man who didn't appear overwhelmingly thrilled by Perez' victory, was one of many. Perez led the front in the race on Sunday, while Verstappen came in second, despite engine problems in qualifying. But that didn't seem to be appropriate for his dad, who was watching on trackside.

After his record-breaking season as the double F1 champion, Max Verstappen, Jos, reports that his son is 'a bit done with everything.' After his most fruitful season in his career, Jos Verstappen says the Red Bull star needs a break from the sport. Verstappen won 15 races to control a championship in which he had very little interest in the end in a season that saw a record 22 Grand Prix events between March and November. Unlike 2021, where Lewis Hamilton went frome-to-toe with the 25-year-old, the Brit driver struggled to beat Verstappen this season, but Ferrari's attempt to keep his F1 crown in style was unsuccessful.
