Summary
Max Verstappen repeatedly said there was “nothing to say” about his Red Bull future at Spa, declining to offer any timeline or 2027 commitment ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.
P7 in the standings with two races left before the summer break, the four-time champion has faced intensifying scrutiny as Red Bull struggles and talk of a possible McLaren move grows.
Verstappen has also voiced dissatisfaction with F1’s current car direction and recently increased his sports car racing, adding to speculation that he could eventually step away from the series.
Red Bull’s internal picture sounded steadier: Verstappen said he has a very positive, open relationship with team boss Laurent Mekies even as contract questions continue despite a deal running to 2028.
