Mohammed bin Sulayem asks for Max Verstappen’s support
As reported by BBC Sports, FIA president Mohammed bin Sulayem has asked defending champion Max Verstappen to express public support for his team principal Christian Horner.
Controversy has hampered Red Bull Racing's crazy season. Horner, the Austrian outfit's team principal, was accused of improper behavior by a female staff member within the organization, raising concerns about his future with the squad.
The report from BBC Sport states: "On Sunday the Telegraaf reported that Max Verstappen had been asked by Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the president of F1's governing body the FIA, to back Horner publicly.”
“BBC Sport has independently verified the story.
"Ben Sulayem's approach came after Max Verstappen gave only qualified support to Horner when asked four times in the lead-up to the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday whether he had full faith and confidence in him.
"The FIA has been approached for comment."
There have been no reports of F1 or FIA being involved directly except for asking Max Verstappen's support.
