P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Max Verstappen has been linked with a move elsewhere but now looks set to stay at Red Bull.
“Despite having a contract with Red Bull until 2028, there has been widespread speculation about Max Verstappen’s future due to internal unrest at the team, including allegations against team principal Christian Horner. The situation caused turmoil within the team, but investigations cleared Horner of wrongdoing and the rumored suspension of Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko did not materialize. The focus has shifted to Verstappen’s potential move to Mercedes, encouraged by Toto Wolff’s expressions of interest. Verstappen’s desire for a peaceful environment clashes with the team’s recent controversies, but the appeal of Red Bull’s competitive car and strong performance so far this season may influence his decision to stay. Leaving Red Bull could jeopardize his chances of winning a fifth world title, especially considering the team’s historical success and current form.”
