Before the inaugural race in Bahrain, Red Bull announced that Christian Horner was declared innocent by the parent company. However, just after this announcement, there were speculations around the paddock that Jos Verstappen wants the Brit out of the team. Now, Damon Hill has reacted to the situation going over in Milton Keynes.

Even before the race, multiple reports stated that Verstappen’s father wanted the Englishman out of the team. However, a new report emerged that according to the 51-year-old, because of Horner, Red Bull is tearing apart. Furthermore, this has now garnered the attention of the 1996 world champion who has commented on the issue.

So at least that's one part of the riddle cleared up.

The 63-year-old commented that the riddle of the feud between Jos Verstappen and Horner is now clear. Jos Verstappen has mentioned that if the Brit stays in the team, then the internal tussles would lead members to leave.

Also, this comes at a time when Verstappen is being related to a move to Red Bull’s arch-rivals Mercedes, to save himself from the saga and politics going behind the curtains at the Austrian outfit. Thus, a tough decision could be made by the Red Bull board soon if such issues stay persistent.

What are the other team principal’s reactions to the Christian Horner-Red Bull Saga?

After the investigation documents were leaked by an anonymous source, various team principals urged the FIA to step in and take matters into their own hands. Two such team bosses are Toto Wolff and Zak Brown.

Both the team principals have asked the FIA to intervene in the situation and conduct an investigation of their own. Moreover, this new investigation has been demanded as Red Bull had originally refused to share the documents of the investigation. This was followed up with an upcry in the paddock regarding the lack of transparency regarding such a sensitive situation.

However, the teams ramp up their preparation for the Saudi Arabian GP next week. Eyes around the paddock will be closely monitoring the ongoing saga in the reigning champions’ base.
