Red Bull team principal Christian Horner explained why switching teams in 2026 could be a bad idea for Max Verstappen.

Red Bull Racing had high expectations for the updates in Austria and the UK, but they return home after the two races almost empty-handed. Christian Horner remains optimistic, whereas Max Verstappen is more realistic.

Christian Horner said Red Bull has to mentally prepare itself for life without Max Verstappen, whether that be next year or later on in this decade.
