Verstappen future hangs in the balance as Red Bull deadline looms
With the uncertainties surrounding the 2026 F1 season, Max Verstappen’s future is uncertain. The upcoming season will see major regulations changes aimed at closer racing with smaller, lighter cars. As the 2025 championship nears its end, teams have six rounds to make an impact before a reset. Mercedes is expected to excel in the new era, but the championship order remains unknown. Verstappen’s 2026 team-mate will play a crucial role in his title chances, and the decision is yet to be made by Red Bull. The team’s current focus seems to be on Isack Hadjar, a promising young driver who could potentially partner with Verstappen next season.
