Jos Verstappen says that the departure of several key members of the Red Bull F1 team is precisely what he predicted earlier this year

    As much of a cunt as Jos is, Red Bull’s brain drain problem, and the other problems the team has had recently, are nothing to do with him.

      It wasn’t all solely his fault. Perhaps he gets more of the blame than he should due to being the one among the people involved most inclined to run his mouth in public. But it sure wasn’t “nothing to do with him.”

        Jos did not cause the brain drain. Jos did not cause development problems. He is not involved with the running of the team.

        It wasn’t anything to do with him. Not one iota of it is his fault. Zero. Nothing.

        I struggle to see how anybody could even think it is. You seem to believe he works for Red Bull F1… what do you think he does?

          One person who believes that Jos Verstappen is somehow involved in the team operations is Jos Verstappen, as the headline indicates. He certainly has at least some small amount of influence with one person who does work for Red Bull. We only hear what he’s willing to say in public, and it’s more than enough to demonstrate that he enjoys getting involved.

            He’s moaning about the team’s fuckups. Doesn’t mean the brain drain issue or car development mistake is anything to do with him (because they aren’t).
