Max Verstappen's manager has told Red Bull that answers will be expected over their shock firing of F1 boss Christian Horner. The now-ex team principal had led the team since its inception in 2005, collecting 14 championships between the drivers' and constructors' titles before his abrupt departure this week.

That said exit clause is reported to be that Verstappen can leave the team if he is lower than fourth in the drivers’ championship by the F1 summer break, following the next two races in Belgium and Hungary.

As shocking as Christian Horner’s exit is, the biggest question it has raised is: what does this mean for Max Verstappen's future?
