Max Verstappen, the announcement about his future: the Red Bull champion at the center of a sensational match
Whoever starts from pole position in Miami does not win the GP. And so it was, because the Sunday that everyone was waiting for had a big surprise in store. After 15 podiums in his career without ever having achieved a success, finally Lando Norris did it.
The 24-year-old from Bristol had everyone lined up, anticipating Verstappen and Leclerc taking home a Grand Prix in which McLaren immediately showed all its muscles. A victory seasoned with great celebrations in which, to the great surprise of many Ferrari fans, Team Principal Frederic Vasseur also cheerfully took part, ‘equipped’ with Champagne and a Woking Scuderia cap.
In any case, however, at Red Bull the situation was and remains tense. Not so much for the Verstappen’s failure to win but above all for what will be his future. Despite being under contract with the Milton Keynes Scuderia until 2028, the rumors that the three-time world champion would be well away from Red Bull.
An internal rift in the team which found solid roots in the Horner case, which seems to have distanced the Verstappen family – especially father Jos – even further from the idea of continuing the Dutch champion’s stellar career in Red Bull in the coming years. So a crazy indiscretion has arrived in the last few hours, with a meeting that already seems decisive for the choice of Verstappen. And the fans cannot help but remain in suspense.
Verstappen, shock match: fans speechless
The drivers’ waltz has so far reserved quite a few surprises, especially Lewis Hamilton, with his signing with Ferrari, he left the world of Formula 1 speechless.
It is absolutely no mystery that the car that the 39-year-old from Stevenage will leave vacant in a few months remains among the most coveted. The idea of Max Verstappen in Mercedes to replace the seven-time world champion seems far from over. On the contrary.
‘Gpblog.com’ reveals how Toto Wolff would have carried forward Verstappen’s candidacy in Mercedes, with a not too secret meeting between the Team Principal and the driver which would have happened on the Monday after Miami. Wolff recently spoke about how there were several possibilities for the new Mercedes driver: “I want to be honest with these guys and not make it seem like we’re playing chess, because we’re not. I think we want to take our time and see where Max’s (Verstappen) thoughts go. and at the same time keep an eye on the other drivers.”
