Martin Brundle whispers about “paperwork changed” impacting Max Verstappen future
Red Bull want to keep the same line-up in 2025, Marti✤n Brundle insists

A contractual clause which might have resulted in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s Red Bull exit is no longer in play, according to Martꦓin Brundle.
Red Bull were beset with problems in the early stages of this year, with Christian Horner, Jos Verstappen and Helmut Marko all involve♋d.
Somehow Verstappen kept his nerve on-track to continue his and the team’s dominance but a clause in his contract emerged that he could quit, if Marko le▨ft first.
That put Mercedes on rꦅed-alert in their bid to replace Leꦿwis Hamilton.
“There is talk that Max Verstappen could leave the team is Dr. Helmut Marko left,” Brundle told Sky Sports ♌at this weekend’s F1 Belgian Grand Pr🐎ix.
“My understanding is that all that﷽ paperwork has been changed, and that cannot happen, at least until 2026. Max is nailed on.ꦚ”
The futurꦚe of Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez is perhaps more relevꦑant.
Marko has previously admitted that Red Bull will consider whether𓆏 they need to make a midseason driver cꦓhange during the summer break, after Sunday’s grand prix at Spa.
♈But, Perez has given himself🐻 a chance by starting from second on the grid.
“Sergio🧸 is struggling, isn’t he? He’s had a bad run. He needs a tip🍸-top performance at Spa,” Brundle said.
“The team are hoping that’s the line-up. If not? Who would they re♏place him with?
“I don’t think they’d take a r🍌isk with Liam Lawson, and scramble his head against the might of Verstappen💧.
“S𒐪urely they’d put Daniel Ricciardo in the car, if they make a change midseason.”
Karun Chandhok added: “✤Perez, they want him to betꦐter. They don’t want to replace him.
“I don’t think Daniel is an option for🌃 next year. They want to keep this line-up.
“Perez 𒁏has scored 21 points in th🍌e last seven races, an average of three points per race. Max has scored 129.”
Brundle said: “What about Yuki Tsunoda? He saiꦉd ‘why not consi꧋der me if you change the Red Bull line-up, I’ve done really well!’
“That’s a fair point.
“But I believe Red Bull will stay as they are.”
