Yuki Tsunoda's struggles aboard this year's Red Bull have given his potential successor Isack Hadjar food for thought.

Max Verstappen has explained that he ‘knows nothing’ about an ultimatum handed to Red Bull regarding the future of Christian Horner. A report emerged ahead of the British Grand Prix suggesting that the reigning champion’s future in Milton Keynes hinges on power moving away from the current team principal.

Rumors of a shocking move to Mercedes have followed Verstappen, and the entire F1 grid, from paddock to paddock in recent weeks. Those rumors picked up steam in the past 48 hours when a report from Sky Sports Italy indicated that Verstappen had agreed to move to Mercedes.
