Max Verstappen “hasn’t put rumours to bed” amid end-of-era Red Bull fear

Max Verstappen has chosen not to end rumours that he might leave Red Bull , it has been pointed out, at a time when the team’s domination is being challenged.

“What I don’t believe is a coincidence, is that Max doesn’t go ‘the Mercedes rumours are untrue, I am staying at Red Bull for the rest of my career’,” F1 Explains podcast presenter Christian Hewgill told the F1 Nation podcast.“We are seeing solid signs of it closing up a little bit. Red Bull lose their advantage in terms of the pack closing up, we go into a new rules cycle in 2026 where the formula is more dependent on engines.“Yes, it’s coincidence.

"History shows us that dominance never lasts. Being on the right side of clever driver moves, where you spot the end of one era and the start of another one, is why Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time champion and why Fernando Alonso is a two-time champion."
