What exactly does Christian Horner's departure from Red Bull mean for Max Verstappen's future?

That was one of many burning questions following Wednesday's bombshell announcement that Horner had been sacked by Red Bull after 20 years at the helm. 

One of many uncertainties he had failed to clear up was Verstappen's long-term future, despite the Dutchman having a contract until 2028.

Rumours linking Verstappen with a stunning defection to Mercedes for 2026 have refused to go away, with Verstappen not explicitly stating that he will be a Red Bull driver next season. 

The Verstappen camp, and especially his father, Jos, is known to have wanted Horner removed from his post for a long time, but does Horner's axing mean the four-time champion will stay put?
