Christian Horner reacts to criticism from Max Verstappen's dad Jos over Monaco strategy

Christian Horner has waved away criticism from Max Verstappen 's dad Jos after Red Bull were accused of 'favouring' Sergio Perez over the defending champion in Monaco.

The Mexican won the race after taking advantage of a Ferrari pit-stop error which caused leader Charles Leclerc to fall to fourth at a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult. Carlos Sainz finished behind in second, while Verstappen kept his championship rival at bay to complete the podium.

The result was a good one for Red Bull as they out-scored Ferrari again and won their fourth race in a row, but Verstappen Snr was less pleased. He wrote a column slamming the team for working to give Perez the win while his son was "not helped".
