The Formula 1 power struggle at Red Bull has taken the next turn. One that Max Verstappen doesn't like at all. What he says is more than just a message to the bosses.

Max Verstappen has warned the bosses at Red Bull of possible drastic consequences if long-time motorsport consultant Helmut Marko leaves the company early.

“Without him in the team, I think there will be a problem, even for myself,” said Verstappen in the Formula 1 paddock in Saudi Arabia. He will “absolutely” stand up for Marko. What that could look like will become apparent next week, Verstappen explained.
