F1: Christian Horner holds talks with Max Verstappen camp as Red Bull exit clause for champion emerges

Horner received a very public backing from Red Bull co-owner Chalerm Yoovidhya last weekend, and his job is deemed safe after he was cleared of any wrongdoing towards a colleague following an investigation by an external lawyer. It is believed Oliver Mintzlaff, who oversees Red Bull’s sport operation, is travelling to Jeddah to offer Horner his backing, despite the pair’s own strained relationship.
