SAKHIR, Bahrain — Jos Verstappen says the Red Bull Formula One team will "explode" if Christian Horner stays on as team principal. The F1 spotlight has been almost entirely on Horner in recent days over his alleged behavior toward a team employee. Jos Verstappen, the father of three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen, tells the Daily Mail newspaper that "the team is in danger of being torn apart" and that "it will explode" if things continue. The day after Red Bull's parent company dismissed a complaint of alleged misconduct by Horner toward a team employee, a file alleged to contain evidence against Horner was emailed to nearly 200 people in the F1 paddock. Jos Verstappen denies being the person behind it.
