Yeah incredible... Jos would be the last person I imagined would turn on Horner.

MotoGP starting next weekend :woop: Could really use some actual racing after what I just watched.

Not really tbh.
Jos seems to be in the Marko camp, which is the guy fully into the junior team pipeline and the guy that got Max into the team.
Horner seemingly entertains having 2 competitive drivers more, even if they come from outside RBR.

I guess if you want there is a good joke about not trashing your relationship in there somewhere.

If Jos Verstappen is anything like 1985 Canadian Osella driver Allen Berg then his ego is probably such that Jos thinks he could do a better job than Horner running the team.

Oh it's very much also this. Max in his Dutch interviews is actually decently humble, Jos is anything but.

Williams and McLaren both drove away the greatest aerodynamicist in history because the folks in charge had such fragile egos. I wouldn't spend too much time trying to devise logical reasons why Jos would want Horner out.

Jos Verstappen is incredible as he legitimately is one of the worst ever drivers to have a significantly long career. Only Alliot is worse probably.

Jos Verstappen coasted off that one Arrows test the way some guys get into the NFL based entirely on being a 5 star recruit out of high school lol

Jos Verstappen is a terrible human being but he was a legitimately decent driver, no way was he anywhere close to Alliot tier. He dragged some absolute dogshit Arrows cars into the points, back when the points only went down to 6th.

Does Jos actually care, or does he just not like Horner because they’re both swaggering jerks and hopes that he’ll be able to bully a successor team principal more easily?
