Following his crash at the Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is 61 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri in the Formula 1 standings. Despite concerns, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is not worried about potential early exit clauses affecting Verstappen’s future with the team. Verstappen’s retirement in Austria marked a disappointing race for Red Bull, with teammate Yuki Tsunoda also struggling at the back of the field. The team’s 77-race points-scoring streak in F1 came to an end in Austria, raising questions about Verstappen’s performance and future with Red Bull. While the Dutchman is contracted with the team until 2028, there are exit clauses that could come into play if performance expectations are not met. As discussions swirl about his future, Verstappen remains focused on driving well and improving performance, keeping fans and pundits guessing about what lies ahead.
