With every disappointing race in the current Formula 1 season, it becomes more likely that Max Verstappen will no longer sit in the Red Bull cockpit in the new year. If the Dutchman demands a change to other team, the Austrian-British racing team will probably not put any stones in his way.
At least that’s what the online portal “F1 insider” reports. Accordingly, if he should decide to say goodbye, a change will not be denied. The exit clauses, which are intended to be anchored in the 27-year-old contract until 2027, play only a subordinate role in the poker for the services of the superstar.
The rumors about Mercedes are still particularly hot. A decision should be made by the end of the four -week summer break in early August. According to “F1 insider”, the reigning Formula 1 world champion is still undecided, as it will continue for him in the new year. According to the report, the opportunities for Red Bull and Mercedes are currently at “50:50”.
Formula 1: Run in spa may be groundbreaking
The Belgium GP in Spa could become the fate race for the future. There it will be shown whether the team boss change from Christian Horner to Laurent Mekies is already bearing fruit. “Sky” expert Ralf Schumacher has his doubts as he revealed “Backstage pit lane” in the podcast.
“The team boss change will initially do not change the technology team. Designer Pierre Wache will continue to build the car next year.
The former F1 pilot does not believe that Verstappen will continue to participate: “He is only interested in having a good car. So Red Bull will be a difficult time. Verstappen is sitting in the dilemma. The signs for Red Bull are not good at the moment.”
