Former Dutch F1 driver Robert Doornbos has shed light on recent rumors surrounding a potential exit clause in Max Verstappen’s Red Bull contract. Reports suggest that discussions with Mercedes have taken place, raising concerns about Verstappen’s future. Doornbos hinted at a possible exit clause related to Red Bull’s performance in the constructors’ championship, rather than Verstappen’s individual standings. With Red Bull struggling in the constructors’ championship and Mercedes potentially offering a more attractive option for 2026, the question remains whether Verstappen will leave Red Bull. Despite being under contract until 2028, Red Bull’s recent performance and Verstappen’s championship hopes may impact his decision in the future.
