First success, then chaos. In home Red Bull they are weeks of fire characterized not only by 'Horner case', but also and, soon above all, from future by Max Verstappen. The Dutchman could, based on what is told by Roberto Chinchero, seriously be able to leave Red Bull at the end of the season. In fact, in his long contract with the Milton Keynes team, there is a clause applicable if Marko should separate (as may happen soon) by the Austrian team. The relationship between Marko and Verstappen is certainly not news that causes a sensation and a possible exit of the 80-year-old could be directly proportionate to a Verstappen's farewell from Red Bull, with his future which could seriously be branded Mercedes.
Verstappen and doubts about the future, is his farewell from Red Bull seriously close?
In this respect, the question arises spontaneously. If there is a serious danger at Red Bull that Verstappen will say goodbye at the end of the season, who will take his place? The name given by Motorsport.com Italia on the issue is that of Lando Norris. The Briton recently renewed his contract with McLaren (since before it was expiring in 2025), but there were already contacts with Red Bull last season (when, however, the man who had to be replaced was Perez).
Two Spaniards at the window
Obviously, it is useless to be able to hide the figures of Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso. The Aston Martin Spaniard explained during the Saudi Arabian GP that he knows he is on the Red Bull list, as his contract is expiring. Not so different, however, for the driver currently at Ferrari. Already in Jeddah, when he was unable to take part in the race following the appendicitis operation he underwent, Sainz was seen entering the Red Bull hospitality area. Have the foundations for the future already been laid?
Waiting for new developments
Meanwhile in Red Bull they are scrutinizing and preparing for the worst: Verstappen's future it could seriously undergo a profound transformation in the coming months and who knows what the farewell hypothesis, simply unthinkable just a few weeks ago, can actually materialize much sooner than expected.
