Max Verstappen’s contract with Red Bull extends until the conclusion of the 2028 Formula 1 season. The recent events in Saudi Arabia sparked various conspiracy theories surrounding the activities at [Team Name]. Reports emerged suggesting that [Person/Entity] may have played a role in leaking documents related to the investigation involving [Team Name] and Red Bull. However, the focus has now shifted to Verstappen’s contract with the team, as it is believed that he possesses an exit clause that can be activated at any time. It is speculated that Helmut Marko, the Director at Red Bull Racing, had a hand in including this clause without the knowledge of Christian Horner, the team’s manager.
Verstappen’s contract with the Austrian team is set to expire at the conclusion of 2028. However, numerous reports indicate that the reigning champion has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave due to certain circumstances involving the Austrian. This particular clause is believed to have been added to Verstappen’s contract without Horner’s awareness. It is possible that Marko, in his capacity as the Director, managed to slip this detail past Horner, who may now find it hard to accept the truth.
Recent rumors and sightings of Verstappen with [Person/Entity] at the Bahrain Grand Prix have fueled speculation that the Dutch driver will depart from the team due to internal pressures. However, in a recent media interaction, the 26-year-old expressed his loyalty to Marko. Verstappen’s statement during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend indicated that he intends to remain with Red Bull as long as Marko remains associated with the team. This puts additional pressure on the Austrian team to retain the services of the 80-year-old consultant in order to prevent their star driver from seeking opportunities elsewhere.
Verstappen has emerged victorious in the first two rounds of this year’s championship and is currently on a remarkable nine-race winning streak, inching closer to his previous record of ten consecutive wins. Fans around the world eagerly await the Australian Grand Prix following a one-week break, hoping for a miracle that will bring an end to Verstappen’s dominance at the forefront of the grid.
