Max Verstappen defended his father, Jos Verstappen, from allegations over a reported disagreement with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner earlier this year. The four-time world champion believes his father sees the greater picture in every situation, which may not be understood by others. Jos Verstappen, the father of 2024 Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen, has criticised the FIA’s attitude toward drivers who use explicit language.
The topic of discussion is Max Verstappen’s penalty for using profanity during a press conference. Before the 2024 season, a female employee accused Red Bull Racing’s team principal, Christian Horner, of inappropriate behaviour. Although the internal investigative committee cleared him of the charges, the episode reportedly caused division within the leadership. Jos Verstappen questioned the FIA’s tactics, calling the approach improper. He compared it to how other drivers were treated.
Jos proposed an alternative approach. to handle such issues that would have prevented the intense media attention. Max Verstappen is already a four-time world champion. The driver constantly offers excellent performance and avoids mistakes throughout the year. His first championship came in 2021, after a year-long battle with Lewis Hamilton that ended on the last lap of the season. Verstappen’s supremacy in the sport was maintained with two relatively straightforward campaigns.

He joins former Red Bull racing driver Sebastian Vettel as the team’s four-time champion.
