Martin Brundle believes Max Verstappen would still be capable of bringing glory to Red Bull this season if Christian Horner exits.
However, he has suggested that the longest-serving team principal on the grid losing his job would spark long-term challenges.
“Obviously, if you take Christian out of that loop, then a vacuum is always filled with other things, isn’t it?” Brundle said.
“And whether that would have the same effect [as Dietrich Mateschitz’s passing]… but they’ve got momentum, and they’ve got [Max] Verstappen.
“So I wouldn’t be too worried about their immediate performance. But down the road, you’d have to say that that will create some challenges.”
