The famous Dutch F1 racer – Max Verstappen – has long been reportedly to leave the Red Bull Racing team. Currently, when the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Race is about to start in Italy, he implies that the following races will be very important for his future.
Red Bull and Max are very busy when McLaren and Oscar Piastri rise sharply in the early stages of this year’s F1 season. Until now, Piastri has recently won a maximum of 4 races, including 3 consecutive victories.
In the meantime, Verstappen and Red Bull Racing only won the Japanese Grand Prix and continuously failed in Saudi Grand Prix and Miami Grand Prix, although it had previously won “pole” to start the number 1 position in the main race …
From the following season, F1 will experience a big change with new technical regulations that are in danger of changing the priority order, a situation that Verstappen is so well understood. “It’s hard to estimate,” told the F1 championship program 4 times to De Telegraaf.
“The next season everything will be new in this sport. And everyone can say, they know who has the best performance, but nobody knows for sure!”, Max continued to share his judgment about the 2026 season.
“The only racing team with the best performance at the moment is McLaren. The racing cars and the engine will change next year. But if you keep such benefits with tires, it is very important and next year.”
Verstappen has set a pen to expand the contract with Red Bull a few years ago. This agreement will take effect until 2028. Although the possibility of moving to McLaren with Verstappen has been concluded – Piastri and Lando Norris have a long -term contract …
But the care that Verstappen leaves Red Bull is still huge when the words about his performance companies are increasingly skeptical. The future of the Dutch racer at Red Bull is measured.
“I have always thought of my future. Even in the best seasons. On the other hand, I think I feel pretty calm when I think about it now,” Verstappen said very softly.
When asked if he wanted to stay with Red Bull since the next season, Max said: “I always say that to the team. It’s my intention. Unless everything is really strange. But leaving is not my will now!”.
“But I still want to see what the rest of the season is, or at least only part of the season. The team can take great and solid steps. The coming races, so it will be very important, as well as my future.”
