Verstappen remains at Red Bull: Rumors of change is invalidated!

Suzuka, Japan - Max Verstappen's future in Formula 1 remains a hotly discussed topic. The current shape of Red Bull could lead to the reigning world champion looking at his situation with dissatisfaction. Helmut Marko, advisor to Red Bull, expressed concerns about the possibility of leaving Verstappen. In the past, this was often associated with a move to Mercedes and Ferrari.

When asked about a move to Ferrari, the Dutch driver reacted amused and explained: "Many people talk about it except me". Verstappen emphasizes that his concentration is aimed at driving and that he does not deal with other scenarios. He sees no reason for a change from Red Bull. He finds little understandable about Marko's statements about a possible emigration and replied to his concerns: "To be honest, I don't know."

Markos worries and contractual clauses

Despite a weak start of the season from Red Bull, the concerns of Marko seem to be unfounded. Verstappen has clauses in his contract, which allow him to leave the team prematurely if the success is missing. It is therefore crucial for Red Bull that they are working on making Verstappen's car more competitive again.

team resolutions and driver change

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said that it makes sense to act quickly to give Lawson the opportunity to gain further experience. Lawson had cut off behind expectations in both Australia and China and was originally supposed to come to the team as the successor to Sergio Pérez to win the World Cup. Pérez could not collect enough points last year, which is why Red Bull lost the title to McLaren.

tsunoda was regarded as a hot candidate for the cockpit before the season, but initially received no effort at Red Bull. This year he took the places twelve in Australia and 16 in China, which is a better performance compared to Lawson's performance in the weaker racing car. Racing Bulls team boss Laurent Mekies proudly expressed the progress of the Japanese.

The developments around Max Verstappen and the driver change at Red Bull indicate an exciting race in Formula 1. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop for everyone involved.
