Max is already on his way to an easy 4th title and could not care less about staying in F1 for a long time or having more titles than Lewis (said so many times, it would take too long). Not sure what the endgame for Jos/Max is, more $ ? More freedom ? Leaving the best team ? avoiding getting caught in the coup? Proving he is the reason RB got all those titles (not newey) ?

Supposedly there are clauses tied to Horner's departure such as Newey could leave and Max also, there are various factions inside redbull, one of which wants Horner gone. Jos has basically completely burned bridges with Horner this week end, and was also spotted chatting to Toto so now rumors are swirling about Verstappen going to Mercedes.. But contract wise ? probably cannot happen with Horner in place.. No way around it all, it's basically a battle of the heirs of power after the owner died. Maybe Horner made a play for it that's backfired?

One thing's for sure, he's not going to Alpine ;-( 2 tech/aero guys "resigned" already, Harman and DeBeer. It's 11 Kgs overweight as it did not pass the crash test initially, and the engine is apparently from an entry level Clio with so little power it's elegible for the eco-bonus, crap.. There goes my underdog team.
