After Max Verstappen’s father, Jos, made some harsh comments regarding Christian Horner, the three-time world champion said that he won’t take sides, but his dad “is not a liar”.
The Red Bull team principal was attacked by Jos Verstappen, who said that the Britton is creating tensions and issues inside the team following the allegations of inappropriate behavior a female employee made against him.
Max Verstappen admitted that he didn’t ask his father whether he regretted making those comments, but he also added that, inside an organization, it is normal to have different ideas regarding certain matters.
“I haven’t asked him that. I think from how I know him of course, from when I was already in go-karting, he’s always very outspoken. He’s not a liar, that’s for sure.
“I think everyone in general, even if you have arguments or not, there always are things that can be worked out in general.
“I think everyone is man enough and respectful enough to each other anyway, in that sense.
“I don’t always agree with everything that happened, just in general in F1, and that’s why sometimes it’s good to have a discussion about things.
“You might agree to disagree sometimes. That’s also what’s happening in a relationship.”
