Helmut Marko refused to be drawn on who 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen would be racing for in 2026.

Red Bull are battling through an uncharacteristic lull in performance after a 💮tempestuous year.

Although they still t🐽op both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships, their gr🐓ip is loosening on each.

The future of star driver Verstappen is another 🐠unwelcome distraction for the once-dominant ♕team.

Red Bull’s Marko was asked “Do you already know for which 🍸team Max will race in 2025 and 2026?”

He answered to : “Neꦅ💫xt year he will drive for Red Bull Racing.”

A follow-up question: “And in 2026?”

Marko: “Mah ... It's so far away. Now our full ♔focus is on the 2024 championshipജ.”

Verstappen is contracted to Red Bull on lucrative terms untꦚil 2028.

However, there have beeജn murmu🍎rings all year about his future.

The furore surrounding Christian Horner in the early part of the year dragged in Marko, and as a result, put Verstappen’s future briefly aℱt-risk.

Mಌercedes team principal Toto Wolff has constantly shared his admiration for Verstappe🔯n.

Horner has even been forceꦯd to issue a hands-off warning to Wolff.

Mercedes are tipped to be an at꧙tractive destination in 2026 when the new F1 regulations la🌟nd.

Tꦓ♑hey are predicted to possess an engine which could become the envy of the entire F1 grid.

However, Mercedes ha♈ve named Kimi Antonelli as Lewis Hamilton’s successor, alongside George Russell.

Wolff insisted th🗹at Antonelli a♊nd Russell would be their priority pairing in the long-term.

However, until Red Bu🅷ll’s performance on-tra💟ck substantially improves, the whispers around Verstappen are unlikely to quieten down.
