Christian Horner “has work cut out” managing Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez rivalry

Red Bull chief Christian Horner has been warned he is "going to have his work cut out" managing Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez this season following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

On paper, things could not have gone much better for Red Bull so far, with the team securing back-to-back one-two finishes in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. However, Verstappen and Perez appeared to clash in Jeddah and Sky Sports presenter and pundit Natalie Pinkham believes it is a sign of things to come.

Verstappen declared he was "not happy" finishing second behind his teammate, despite recovering from a driveshaft failure in qualifying which meant he started the race in 15th. He also managed to hold onto his championship lead by securing the fastest lap of the race.
