The F1 2024 season gets underway this week in Sakhir, Baharin. Red Bull will look to claim their third consecutive Constructors title, as they won 21 of the 22 races last season. On the other hand, Max Verstappen will look to claim his fourth successive drivers championship title.

However, the build up to the race has been somewhat overshadowed by the fiasco surrounding Christian Horner. The Red Bull boss has been accused by an employee of inappropriate behavior as an investigation has been opened up by Red Bull.

Max Verstappen remained positive about his preparations, and stated that the Christian Horner case is not affecting it. However, he believes that a decision should be made sooner rather than later, given that the first race of the season is just two days from now.

"It doesn't. I'm very focused on just the performance of the car and myself. “Hopefully it will be resolved very soon. It's a whole team effort that everyone has to stick together and work to more success, so that's why it's important to get everything resolved very soon."
