Horner adamant Verstappen will support Perez in Abu Dhabi after talks

Christian Horner insists that Max Verstappen will support Red Bull's effort to help Sergio Perez at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Verstappen's team order refusal in Brazil.

Verstappen – who had slipped back in the field earlier in the race following a clash with Lewis Hamilton – was allowed to overtake Perez in the latter stages in an attempt to attack Fernando Alonso and Charles Leclerc ahead, with the Mexican struggling on his Medium tyres.

While Verstappen was told by his engineer to let Perez by on the final lap if he could not pass Alonso, the World Champion refused the direct order, claiming he had his reasons for doing so.

Perez later voiced his disappointment at his teammate's actions, and Red Bull boss Horner has since given his reaction to what happened.
