168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s “hesitatio🐼n” to publicly commit to Red Bu🐷ll has been questioned, with Mercedes still lurking in the background.

Verstappen has stated this weekend at the F1 Austrian Grand Priꦓx that he intends to remain at Red Bull next year, but the manner of his commitment has provoked more questions.

Mercedes, who haven’t yet replaced Lewis Haꦫmilton, have been waꦦrned off by Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

Martin Brundle was asked if the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 F1 driver line-up was largely in place, but he told Sky Sports🉐: “The plot 🍒thickens…

“It does appear that Mercedes are hangi𝄹ng🍃 around, waiting to see what happens with Verstappen at Red Bull.

“Whether that’s for 2025 or 2026, time will tell.

“There is, apparently, a signed letter which is an exit clause with Helmut Marko, allegedly, according to💎 the paddock, should Max want to leave.

🐷“Christian absolutely says that’s not going to happen.

“Max has been consistent with ‘I have got a long-term coꦓntract here, this is where I want to𒁏 race’.

“Christian made the point that Max has won every race, achieved every podium, every championship,with Red Bu𓂃ll. They are currently leading this one quite comfortably.

“Just have a think about that, for a minu🌠te. Why would he want to run away from that?

“But something is up! They are saying he’s going nowhere - next 🧸year, especially.ꦇ”

The row between Jos Verstappen, the F1 champion’s father, a💝nd Horner has cropped up again this weekend at Red Bu📖ll’s home grand prix.

A fall-out over a show run wa✃s the cause for an old feud to be reignited, prompting more 🦄doubt about Red Bull’s star driver’s future.

Horner cheekily tol♎d Mercedes to pursue Jos rather t♓han Max.

Naomi Schiff reacted to Max insisting he would stay: “It didn’t see💞m 𓆉he wanted to say yes with a lot of joy or confidence.

“There was some💝 sort ꦕof hesitation about having to say yes.

“Which, in itself, raises the question why he doesn’t say ‘yes, absolutely, I am staying with the team next year’.ꦿ”

Brundle paid tribute 🅘to how Verstappen has navigated a tricky year amid politicsౠ within Red Bull.

“His🐭 talent has had tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚo shine through,” Brundle said.

“What Max had to dance around, with all the shenanigans in the team, politics involving🐭 his dad and his team principal, he had to tread✤ a fine line through that and dominate the races. Hugely impressive.”
