Max Verstappen can leave Red Bull whenever as promise made by team boss emerges

Max Verstappen can use his relationship with Red Bull super advisor Helmut Marko to walk away from the team whenever he wants.

But he has been unsettled ever since civil war broke out between his ally Marko and team principal Christian Horner. And Verstappen is also said to have concerns about how competitive Red Bull's 2026 engines will be compared to those built by more established power unit manufacturers. And Marko has made it so that Verstappen has the means to be able to walk away from his contract at any point. That's thanks to a clause in his contract which allows him to leave in the event that Marko, 80, heads through the exit door.

And, per BBC Sport, the Austrian is said to have promised Verstappen that he will use that power in any way the driver wants. Marko can resign and give Verstappen the opportunity to walk away whenever he decides he is ready.
