Horner spoke to Verstappen's manager about mutual dissatisfaction

Max Verstappen's dominant victory seemed to be only an afterthought last race week. Surely the main issue in Bahrain was Christian Horner. Although the team principal had been cleared by Red Bull of transgressive behaviour, the matter continued to simmer in the oil state after a leak of possible Whatsapp messages from Horner and the woman in question. Jos Verstappen then accused Horner in the media that Red Bull Racing was on the verge of breaking up, and that is because of the Briton.
