Red Bull are 'scared' of Max Verstappen,according to McLaren boss Zak Brown.
Verstappen has dominated Formula One for a number of years,winning the last three world championships and currently 84 points clear at the top of the 2024 standings.
His dominance has slipped in recent races,however,with the likes of Lando Norris,George Russell and Lewis Hamilton starting to put pressure on the Dutchman at the front of the grid.
Things came to a head at the Austrian Grand Prix on June 30,when Norris and Verstappen collided while fighting for the lead with both their races ruined. Verstappen received a penalty for the incident but refused to accept blame.
Now,Norris' boss,Zak Brown,has launched a verbal attack on Verstappen's Red Bull team,insisting,via The Independent,that it's the Dutchman that rules the roost in the paddock.
Brown admited that he 'seems to have more issues' with Horner than other team bosses in F1
Brown,meanwhile,isn't a fan,and wasn't scared to hide what he thinks of the 50-year-old.
'I speak up on issues,' Brown said. 'It just seems I have more issues with him more than others,because he says and does stuff I think is wrong.
'It's less about getting under each other's skin and fighting because we were not competing with them during the cost-cap. I just felt the integrity of the cost cap was critical for the success of Formula One and,if it wasn't taken seriously,the sport would be damaged forever.
'I was trying to protect the integrity of the sport and they didn't take it seriously. That's why I spoke up.'
