Max Verstappen won the first Formula One race staged following Christian Horner’s dismissal as Red Bull team principal in Saturday’s sprint race in Belgium.

Formula One champion Max Verstappen said Christian Horner's sacking as Red Bull boss would make no difference to decisions about his own future and the team still felt like a second family.

For Red Bull to succeed, a major undertaking will be sorting out its second car as its successive drivers keep failing to match team spearhead Max Verstappen.
