Jos Verstappen believes Christian Horner will stay at Red Bull for the remainder of the F🐼1 2024 season.

The father of Max Verstappen has offered his backing to the female employee who has been suspended by Red Bull after 🉐her complaints against Horner were dismissed.

Jos is not present at this weekend’s F1 Saudi Arabian Grand🏅 Prix because he is racing himself in a rallying event in Belgium.

"I think it's too late for Christian to say 'leave me alone' 𒅌but he has the support of the Thai owner so I think he will stay for the rest of the season," he told the&n🅺bsp;.

"I said it would bad if he stayed, it really isn't good for 📖the team, this whole situa꧋tion."

Jos has shared the truth about the argument he reportedly hadꦕ with Horner in 🔯Bahrain last week.

"That was ea☂rlier, on Friday, before the race," he said.

"He was saying to me 'Do you trust me? I will do everything for yoღur son' and we were talking with our hands, we d𓂃idn't have a fight.

"But on Friday we d🥀id have an argument in the office, and I walked out but, in the trailer, he 🐽came up to me and said 'Congratulations, good race'."

Jos said about the Red Bull employee who has now been suspended: "I sympathise with the woman, with all that𒊎 she went through, but we will see what happens.

"Red Bull seem to know what they are doing with her, we will see. Butಌ I think it is for her to come out and see what happens.

"I'm not fully up to speed 🎃with🍃 what is happening with her."

Jos added: "꧒But all these things that are going on are having an influence on Max.

"ꦬHe was third in the first practice, and all we hear about is Horner and what happened with his🅠 situation.

"In the press conference Horner gave the other da♍🌼y it was all about him and his problems when we should be talking about Max, the car, his performance and the race.

'I've already said I think it is causing p🌺roblems if he stays.'

Red𓄧 Bull team principal Horner demanded in Saudi Arabia th♈at a line was drawn under the entire saga to end the scrutiny.

Jos reacted to those comments: “I think it's a bit to꧃o late for that now. If that's what he wants, fine, but I don't think it will be possible. I don't want to talk too much m♌ore as it will create problems.

"But the most important thing for me is that Max is happy, that🌟's what counts for me, I just want him to be happy."

However, even the happiness of star driver Max has come under question in Saudi Arabi📖a, at the second F1 round of the 2024 season𝓰.

Re𒈔d Bull are now investigating Helmut Marko, reportedly over whether he was leaking information to the media.

Max🍰 hinted his own future coꦆuld be linked to Marko’s.

He sai🔥d: "My loyalty to him is very big, and also I have always expressed this to everyone within the team, everyone high up, that he is an important part in my decꦿision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.”

Comments last week from Jos, about Horner, escalated the situatiౠon at Red Bull to new heights.

He said in Bahrain: “The team is in danger of being&ಌnbsp;torn apart. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode.”

He also accused Horner of “playing the🙈 victim” at the F𓃲1 season-opener.
