Jos Verstappen and Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner, following the latter’s praise for simulator driver Sébastien Buemi’s contributions to the RB20’s development amidst the team’s ongoing struggles.

Red Bull have seen high profile names like Adrian Newey and Jonathan Wheatley announce their exits in recent months, but Christian Horner is adamant there is no underlying problem

Ricciardo began as a test and reserve driver for Horner's outfit before being loaned out to secure his debut on track in 2011 with HRT.
