“I AM LEAVING”: Sergio Perez announced his resignation immediately after facing…
Although Max Verstappen is under contract with Red Bull until 2028, his future has been a major topic of discussion this season. You can watch practice on Friday from 1 and 5 a.m., qualifying on Saturday from 5 a.m., and the Australian Grand Prix itself live on Sky Sports F1 on Sunday starting at 4 a.m.
After the end of an inquiry into Christian Horner, which led to the dismissal of a female colleague who had accused the team principal of inappropriate behavior, Verstappen’s future has been called into question due to uncharacteristic turmoil at Red Bull.
Following Verstappen’s victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton announced his decision to join Ferrari for 2025, leaving an opening at Mercedes. Wolff said, “There is no team that wouldn’t do handstands to have him in the car.”
Verstappen agreed to a new deal in March 2022 that would keep him with Red Bull through the end of 2028.
It has no bearing whatsoever on what I would do. When asked if Wolff’s remarks have an impact on him, Verstappen replied, “It’s always good to hear that.”
“Toto and I had our moments, but that’s typical when two teams are fighting for the title. However, respect has always existed. In my opinion, nothing is altered.”
When asked if he would ever race for Mercedes, Verstappen replied, “I’m not sure. I have no idea what will occur after 2028. I’m not sure if I’ll sign a new contract, carry on, or remain in Formula One. I’m not aware of that.
