The Red Bull boss says his team hasn’t spoken with drivers including George Russell as its “focus” remains on retaining Max Verstappen long-term

Max Verstappen had dominated headlines – more so than usual – in the build-up to this weekend’s British GP. As links between the Dutchman and Mercedes persist, Christian Horner has responded to the speculation surrounding his marquee driver.

Red Bull has to keep in mind that it will face a future without Max Verstappen at some stage but the intention is for him to still be with the team in 2026, says team principal Christian Horner.
