Clause in the contract
Marko: Farewell to Verstappen? “The danger is there!”
Max Verstappen's contract with Red Bull Racing runs until 2028, but that does not mean that the three-time world champion could not leave the racing team sooner, as Dr. Helmut Marko made clear to RTL. "The risk is there," said the Bulls' motorsport advisor.
"When he's in the car, he wants to win. But the environment has to be right. If the whole thing no longer suits him, you can expect him to say from one day to the next: that's it!", Marko revealed.
Performance-related clause
According to the 81-year-old from Graz, Verstappen has a clause in his contract that allows him to pack his bags before 2028. "Most top drivers have exit clauses that are performance-related. Max has one too. That means that if we can't provide him with a car that he can drive up front, that's certainly something he'll consider."
The Dutchman has finished as world champion in all of the last three years. He is also leading the drivers' championship this season, but his lead over McLaren's Lando Norris is shrinking from race to race. Verstappen has now been winless for eight GPs.
Nevertheless, Marko remains optimistic and second place in Singapore was a step in the right direction. Verstappen's next chance to end his winless streak will come on October 20, when the Formula 1 circus stops off at the Circuit of The Americas in Texas.
