Christian Horner met with Max Verstappen’s manager Raymond Vermeulen and other senior Red Bull figures in a meeting in Dubai on Monday, designed to diffuse tensions after a tumultuous week for the team.

Face-to-face talks took place without star driver Verstappen or his father Jos present, two days after Verstappen Snr insisted the team will “explode” if Horner stays in his role and stated the Red Bull F1 boss is “playing the victim”.
