Max Verstappen is 'very happy' at Red Bull Racing, but he might consider stepping away from Formula One when his contract expires in 2028! 😱🏁
The 26-year-old Dutch sensation has been crushing it on the track, winning the first two races of the season. But off the track, things have been a bit stormy at the powerhouse team Red Bull. 🌩️
Word on the street is that Verstappen hinted he might leave if Red Bull parts ways with his long-time mentor Helmut Marko. Plus, his dad, Jos Verstappen, stirred the pot by suggesting that Red Bull could be 'torn apart' if team boss Christian Horner sticks around. Talk about family drama! 😬
When asked about his future ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, Max said, 'I'm very happy where I'm at, and we want to keep it that way.' But he was a bit more mysterious about life after Red Bull: 'I have a contract with Red Bull until 2028, after that, I first want to see if I even want to continue.'
Whoa! Could we see Max stepping away from F1 altogether? 🤔
Speaking of the legendary Suzuka track in Japan, Verstappen shared, 'It's quite intimidating the first time you drive around the track. Even in the wet, because it's so narrow, if you make a small mistake, you can go off in the grass or the gravel. It just adds a bit more to it.'
Sounds thrilling and terrifying at the same time! 🇯🇵✨
Stay tuned, racing fans! The future of F1's hottest driver is full of twists and turns! 🚀
