Insight into 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s future suggests there’s💦 “still a chance” he could leave Red Bull at the end of next year.

According to veteran journalist Andrew Benson, Verstappen isn’t considering ༒leaving Red Bull this year.

Verst🅠appen stil꧙l sits top of the drivers’ championship despite failing to win any of the last three races.

The Dutchman’s frustrati👍on boiled over at the Hungarian Grand Prix, but♈ for now at least, Verstappen is committed.

However, the end of 2025 is a different story.

Verstappen might be tempted to leave the team if Red Bull struggl🔥e to deliver a title-conquering car in 2025.

He will also have to consider 2026 - and which team will have the 🍃best power unit.

Writing i🔴n his post-raceജ Q&A, Benson addressed Verstappen’s future.

“As of now, Verstappen is not considering leaving Red Bull at the end of this season, BBC Sport has be꧟en told, but there is still a chance he will at the end of 2025,” he wrote.

“Verstappen haꦦs a contract with Red Bull until the end of 2028. And one mechanism by which he cou💮ld have left has been removed.”

A development over the Hungary weekend was a clause i♔n Verstappen’s contract linked t♛o Helmut Marko.

In short, if Marko left, then V꧋erstappen would be free to leave.

This clause has been removed and Marko has committed his fu𝔉ture to the team until the end ofജ 2026.

But, there’s still ways for Verstappen to lea🔜ve Red Bull. 

“BBC Sport understands there are other aspects of his contract that would enable him t⛄o leave in certain circumstances, some of which are clauses related to the performance of the car and team,” Benson added.

“Of course, the contract is secret, so it is not possible to know the fu𒈔ll detail o🦹f these.”

It’s likely going to be a story that will continue to rumble on, particularly if Verstappen’s lead in🔯 the championship is significantly reduced.
