Fresh Red Bull headache as claims emerge that Max Verstappen wants out
Could Max Verstappe𝄹n seek a Red Bull exit amid RB20 trouble?

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen w☂ants to leave Red Bull and could take a year away from F1 duꦉe to his lack of options, it has been claimed.
Red Bull’s un♌𒐪expected struggles are worsening and F1 champion Verstappen is on a winless streak of six grands prix.
His lead at the top of the drivers’ standings has been cut to 62 points by Lando Norris, and he described his R𒉰B20 as “a monster” la🅘st weekend in Monza.
His misery during race weekends is plain and obvious but now Red Bull have been rocked by reports that their sta൩r driver wants out.
“The Verstappen clan has long since agreed: Max will not fulfil his contract until 2028,” German-Swiss newspaper ♏;reported.
“Verstappen wants to lea♏ve as soon as possible - 𝓀but where?”
Verstappen certainly won’t be going anywhere in 2025, with the entire grid almost confirmed after Mercedes pinned their hopes to K🔯imi Antonelli to replace Lewis Hamilton.
But, Toto Wolff has never shied away from expressing his admiဣration for Verstappen.
In 2026 the new Formꦺula 1 regulations will kick in, and the talk within the paddock is that Mercedes could emerge with an engine to envy.
That would be a further setback for Red Bull’s development and could create new doubt over Verstappe♒n’s future.
However, Mercedes’ faith in Antonelli to pa💃rtner George Rusꦺsell has the look of a long-term combination.
“Not impossible: Verstappen is taking a year off,” thꦏe report claims.
Stepping a𝓰way from Formula 1 for a year would be a remarkab🧜le move for the driver who has dominated since the start of 2022.
F൩ernando Alonso is among the drivers to have taken a sabbatical then returned - although he hasn’t been able to return to championship-winning ways since his comeback.
Verstappen has regularly s🐎poken about retiring early, unlike Hamilton or Alonso.
He is currently 26 years old and, despite his fury around the RB20’s💜 demise, retains a 62-point advantage at the top of the F1 standin🐲gs.
The trouble is that the internal chaos within Red Bull - which has involved Christ𒊎ian Horner, Verstappen’s father Jos, and H💫elmut Marko - has created uncertainty.
The sa𒊎me report also claims that the exits of Adrian Newey and Jona𝓰than Wheatley is a key factory in Verstappen questioning his future at Red Bull.
