Max Verstappen’s F1 future has been a huge topic of discussion this year – so could this be the way he navigates his career?
Jos Verstappen has suggested that his son Max might consider taking a sabbatical from Formula 1 at some point in his career. Despite winning his fourth F1 title in Las Vegas last weekend and solidifying his position as one of the sport’s most successful drivers, Max has expressed interest in potentially leaving F1 earlier than expected. Verstappen’s current contract with Red Bull expires in 2028, leaving his future in the sport uncertain. Jos believes that Max may want to take a break from F1 and return later, as he values other aspects of life beyond racing. While Max’s focus is not solely on breaking records, his decision to potentially step away from F1 remains open-ended.
