Verstappen has secret Marko clause in his contract
The rumor mill is churning! Max Verstappen is said to be considering a move to Mercedes because of the investigation into Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. In the course of this, it became known that the three-time Formula 1 world champion even has a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave at the end of each season.
Verstappen's contract with Red Bull actually runs until the end of 2028, but the 26-year-old Dutchman apparently negotiated an extra clause when his contract was last extended in 2022, which would release him from the contract at the end of each season.
But only under one very special condition: Because the clause only takes effect if Helmut Marko leaves the team. What a vote of confidence! So Verstappen has tied his future to that of Red Bull's Styrian motorsport boss! This is what the "F1-Insider" and the German "Bild" newspaper want to know.
Explosive constellation
Background: Marko is Verstappen's discoverer and first sponsor. Thanks to him, Verstappen was given a place in Formula 1 at the age of 17. In addition, Marko has a very good relationship with the Verstappen family. An explosive constellation - especially as there has been a power struggle at Red Bull since the uproar surrounding Horner.
