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?

There are no guarantees Max Verstappen will stay with Red Bull despite Christian Horner being sacked, it has been claimed. Red Bull’s decision to sack Horner, who had been at the helm of the Milton Keynes squad since their 2005 debut, sent shockwaves throughout the F1 world last week.

Red Bull has pledged not give up on the Formula 1 title fight until it’s mathematically impossible for Max Verstappen to win, even after Christian Horner was fired as team principal.
