Max Verstappen doesn’t have the car to consistently fight for victories, and can only win sporadically. On the long-term, however, this is not a sustainable situation for someone like Verstappen, who demands the very best from himself, but also from his team. So, what happens if he decides to leave Red Bull?

According to Jonathan McEvoy at the Daily Mail, Max Verstappen has a clause in his current contract at Red Bull Racing that allows him to leave the team cost-free if he falls out of the top three in the drivers’ standings.

The departure of Adrian Newey did hurt Red Bull Racing somewhat, but the role of former chief designer Rob Marshall has been somewhat overlooked. Marshall joined McLaren in 2024, and the team from Woking managed to claim the constructors' title last year for the first time in 26 years. Does Marshall's departure hurt Red Bull more than we think?

Max Verstappen has said he could rethink his future in Formula 1 due to his row with the FIA over swearing over team radio.

McLaren nearly scored maximum points, by finishing first and third, but missed out on the extra point for fastest lap as that was snatched by Daniel Ricciardo on the very last lap. It’s no secret that this might well have been the eight-time Grand Prix winner’s final race in F1, and if it is, the Aussie has gone out by helping his former team-mate Max Verstappen take away one point from Lando Norris.

The MCL38’s front wings were already deemed legal by the FIA earlier this month after complaints from Red Bull and Ferrari, but now, attention has turned to the other side of the car, and its already infamous mini-DRS.

Lando Norris says he is not worried about Red Bull Racing anymore, as the Briton thinks McLaren’s main threat is now Ferrari.

Lando Norris went viral for calling out Max Verstappen overtaking other cars under Virtual Safety Car conditions on the cooldown lap.

For their crash, both Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez were summoned to the stewards post-race, as were McLaren, as was Max Verstappen, who overtook multiple cars on his cooldown lap post-race while Virtual Safety Car rules were still in effect.

A former world champion has warned George Russell that he could see the Briton getting replaced in the future at Mercedes.
