Verstappen 'not interested' in Horner vs Brown 'feud'

Max Verstappen has bluntly insisted that a potential feud between Christian Horner and Zak Brown is "not my problem" after Red Bull's trick device was uncovered.

In the build-up to the United States Grand Prix, a device on Red Bull's RB20 was uncovered which could allow it to change the ride height of the car in parc ferme. 

The FIA checked the device and are satisfied that it has not been used in a manner which would be illegal in parc ferme conditions. 

McLaren CEO Brown believes Red Bull has multiple questions to answer about the device, with Red Bull counterpart Horner shutting down his calls for investigations. 

The two have a history, with Brown writing an open letter ahead of the 2022 United States GP after Red Bull broke the cost cap for 2021, leading to a tense Austin team principal press conference at the time.

However, Verstappen insists he wants nothing to do with the situation, but did admit the two bosses "don't like each other."

"That doesn't interest me. We just use this as a tool to adjust the ride height faster," Verstappen explained to media including RacingNews365 and others when asked for his thoughts on the reaction to Red Bull's bib device. 

"It's not really McLaren per se, it's more Zak, but Zak doesn't need Christian, and vice versa I don't think either. It is not my problem.

"It's not that I call [Brown] but I just saw him and there's just nothing going on. That [Brown and Horner] don't like each other, that's not my problem."

When asked if he was following some of the coverage around the fallout of the bib device, Verstappen shut it down in typical fashion.

"I don't deal with it. I see it and read it, but then I turn it off again," he added.

"I'll go watch MotoGP or go on the simulator. It doesn't interest me at all."
