Max Verstappen launched a powerful defence of his mentor and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko on Friday when confronted by reports that the Austrian may face a possible suspension in the aftermath of the Christian Horner saga.

It is very important that he stays within the team, including of course everybody else, because it is a team effort and it is very important that we keep the key people together,” he said.
