Fears over Red Bull's future

A host of top teams, including Ferrari, are now looking to secure Newey's signature, whose next move remains a mystery at this stage.

Now Verstappen - who already hinted that his son Max's long-term future at the team is in doubt - has expressed his fears that the loss of Newey could lead to a full-scale collapse at Red Bull.

”The team is in danger of falling apart," he admitted to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. "I was afraid of that earlier this year.

"For internal peace, it is important that key people stay on board- that is not the case now.

"Newey is leaving and earlier this year it also looked like Helmut [Marko] would be sent away. For the future that is not good.”
