F1: Max Verstappen claimed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, while Aussie Oscar Piastri finishing fourth.

Piastri powers to fourth in Saudi Arabia | 01:44Red Bull Racing principal Christian Horner has declared “nobody is bigger than the team” after Max Verstappen threatened to walk away from his contract in the ongoing tumult rocking the constructors champion.

In comments that appeared to be an oblique reference to the Verstappen camp’s public interventions in the running of the squad, Christian Horner told Sky Sports that no individual would be put above the interests of the team. “The speculation is obviously rife, but the most important thing is the team and focusing on on-track performances.

Asked specifically about Jos Verstappen’s strident criticism of his leadership, Horner again emphasised that Max Verstappen was expected to play his role as a member of the team.“Max is an important part of this team. He’s our driver and he’s doing a great job.“Everybody has to do their part. Max is doing his part. Everybody else is doing their part.”
