According to RacingNews365, Max Verstappen has an escape clause in his contract with Red Bull tied to advisor Helmut Marko. Despite a £50 million per year contract through 2028, Verstappen’s future is uncertain due to recent controversies surrounding team principal Christian Horner. Horner faced allegations of ‘inappropriate behavior’ but was cleared after an investigation, though further accusations arose from an anonymous source. Verstappen’s father hinted at tension within Red Bull and implied Max could leave if Horner remains. Additionally, Verstappen could also depart if Marko exits, as they are long-time allies. A meeting between Horner and Verstappen’s manager aimed to ease tensions in their relationship.
