🏎️ Max Verstappen Absolutely Shocks F1 World! Is his future With Red Bull Now Clear?
The Formula 1 world has been buzzing with rumors for months: Is Max Verstappen finally leaving Red Bull, everybody is asking? After four world titles, team power struggles, and whispers of a secret clause in his contract, fans and analysts alike have speculated a dramatic switch to Mercedes or even early retirement.
The speculation only intensified after the Belgian Grand Prix, where Red Bull’s performance came under scrutiny and Verstappen was spotted in deep conversation with Mercedes insiders.
🔥 Mysterious Contract Clause Could Trigger Exit
Insiders revealed that Verstappen’s long-term contract, supposedly airtight through 2028 actually contained a hidden clause. If he dropped out of the top three standings before the summer break, he could walk away from Red Bull. With Red Bull under pressure and internal leadership shifts brewing, that clause felt closer than ever to being activated.
On top of that, tensions reportedly rose within the Red Bull garage following the departure of long-time principal Christian Horner and the arrival of new team boss Laurent Mekies. Some media sources suggested Max was “no longer fully aligned with the direction of the team.”
