What happened: Max Verstappen told Sky Sports the Formula 1 paddock feels less stressful since Christian Horner left the Red Bull principal role. The remarks came during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend at Marina Bay.

Why it matters: The leadership change ends a long tenure at the top of Red Bull during a reset around Verstappen, who stays with Red Bull after Baku-weekend settlement talk. Garage stability carries weight after Verstappen converted pole into his first Marina Bay victory.

What to watch: Red Bull heads toward Baku with Verstappen confirmed in place. The watch is whether the reset operation holds through qualifying and race execution.
