Helmut Marko has confirmed that Max Verstappen will be driving for Red Bull Racing in 2026. There is not an official confirmation yet, but the chances of Verstappen leaving seem slim. Sky Sports reports that there will be a completely different performance clause in place for the Dutch Red Bull Racing driver next year.

Formula One champion Max Verstappen won a "cat and mouse" Belgian Grand Prix sprint on Saturday in Red Bull's first race under the leadership of Laurent Mekies following Christian Horner's dismissal.

Jaime Alguersuari is convinced that Max Verstappen could leave Red Bull at the end of the year. Speaking on the Chequered Flag podcast (via GPBlog), the former F1 driver said that his former team appears to be falling apart, a situation that could prompt the reigning champion to move on.
