Relive how Verstappen won in Saudi with Bearman seventh on debut
How the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix unfolded as Max Verstappen won for Red Bull with Oliver Bearman seventh for Ferrari.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was talking to Sky Sports:

Battle going on for who controls the race team at the moment at Red Bull ownership level? "Obviously a lot is made of this stuff. We are one team and nobody is bigger than the team. This team comprises across different entities. Over 1,400 people, Everyone has a role to play and that is from the very bottom to the very top. Without them performing, you don't achieve performances like this. Unfortunately there has been a lot of speculation this weekend but our focus has been very much on the track."

From the outside the team might not be unified? "Helmut Marko is a consultant to Red Bull GmbH and not the team. Max is a valuable member of this team and a wonderful driver. We are a team and no single individual is bigger than the team."

Do you have Max's backing? "I am aware of rumblings and I am aware of what has been said. He is our driver and he's doing a great job and as team principal and CEO I'm responsible for the running and the operation of this team. Everybody has to do their part."

Do you need to smooth things over with his father Jos? "I think that speculation is obviously rife and the most important thing is the team and it has been a phenomenal team effort.

"You only see the front end, and I think it's important to recognise it's not that easy. You only do that by having a spirit, a culture and determination around the company,

"Red Bull Racing is the most followed sporting entity of any sports team in the world. we have an incredible team of men and women without which we wouldn't be achieving these performances."
