At his media session at Silverstone, Max Verstappen avoided questions about his Formula 1 future beyond 2026 and stayed focused on the present. Despite reports of talks with Mercedes, he remains committed to Red Bull, which has implications on drivers like George Russell. Verstappen is not rushing to make any decisions and is not considering a sabbatical year. He is open to combining F1 with GT3 racing in the future but is determined to stay in F1 until at least 2028. With uncertainties about the 2026 season, Verstappen trusts Red Bull and is focused on driving fast regardless of the changing landscape in Formula 1.
