Red Bull seemed to be in a state of turmoil at the start of 2024. Max Verstappen‘s father Jos Verstappen was often criticizing the team as it got surrounded by controversies. However, the 27-year-old has now defended his father’s actions.
Jos Verstappen engaged in a war of words with Christian Horner last year. The 52-year-old went as far as claiming that Red Bull was on the verge of falling apart. His comments have been criticized by many for negatively influencing Milton Keynes.
Max Verstappen labeled such backlash ‘nonsense.’ The four-time world champion claimed that his father understands how to see the bigger picture, how it impacts the Dutchman and the team as a whole. The 27-year-old asserted that people outside Milton Keynes might not see that.
That is nonsense. My father sees the bigger picture very quickly. And that certain things that happen have an influence on the future of me and the team. Some people from outside may not see that.
