Will Verstappen stay with Red Bull?
By: Jake Rajala
All good things must come to an end. Max Verstappen has been on the top with Red Bull racing. Well, he has been rumored to link up with McLaren. Right now, he is laser-focused on winning the Belgian Grand Prix. After all, he is seventh place on the season.
One of Max’s reflections was, “People come and go – I think that’s sometimes also part of the process. Sometimes you want people to stay, potentially, yes, but I think that’s just how life is, how sport is as well. You just have to carry on, try to find new talents. That’s what you look at all the time and that’s what we do.”
Max is under contract until the end 2028, but that doesn’t mean he can’t leave his deal in 2027.
An interesting situation recently unfolded. A surprise agreement came with McLaren, creating a support with a 15 year driver from Belgian, by the name of Dries Van Langendonck.
So, if Max leaves Red Bull, the obvious question is: who could replace Max at Red Bull?
Carlo Sainz Jr. would be a bold pick. He left Ferrari and joined High Hopes. Of course, Carlo Sainz Jr is the son of Carlo Sainz.
Another big time option to replace Max is none other than Oliver Bearman. He is 21 years old and he comes from Britain.
A somewhat under the radar move could be Oscar Piastri going from McLaren. He is only 25 years old.
