that the father 🤡of the reigning F1 world champion would miss the second round of the sea✨son in Jeddah after comments he made about under-fire Red Bull boss Horner.

However, it has now emerged that Verstappen is due to miss the rac♈e because he is taking part in the Rallye de Hannut, an event that has been in his calendar for a long time.

Horner was the main 🍷focus of attention at the F1 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix after allegations of inappropriate behaviour made agai🅰nst him were dismissed on Wednesday.

But the 50-year-old came under fresh scrutiny just 24 hour൩s later when material purporting to be the alleged evidence in the investigation into his conduct was leaked to F1 team prin🦄cipals and members of the media from an anonymous email account.

Verstappen Sr, who was seen having a heated argument with Horner on Friday night before later apologising, has warned Red Bull will “explode” if the ൲controversy is not resolved.

Speaking after his son’s dominant victory in Bahr⛎ain, Verstappen told the Daily Mail: "There is tension here while he remains in position.

“The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can't go on the way it isඣ. It will explode. He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing problems.”

Verstappen Sr, who has denied🍃 beiꦰng the source of the leaks, has also reportedly told friends that his son could leave Red Bull if Horner remains in position.

This has prompted speculation that Verstappen could make a sensational switch to Mercedes as a replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, who is joining Ferrari in 2025.

When asked if Verstappen coul🐠d join Mercedes, team boss Toto Wolff replied: “Ever🥃ything is possible.”

Speaking to media including after Saturday night’s season opener, Horner stressed he♒ was “absolutely” confident he would be𒁏 in his role for the entire 2024 season.

"I've always be✱en entirely con𒅌fident that I would be here," he said.

"There was a fu📖ll, lengthy internal process that was completed by an independent KC. And the grievance that was raised was dismissed. End of. Move on."
