Will Verstappen remain at Red Bull?

Since the falling out, reports have suggested Verstappen could be tempted by a move to Mercedes, especially if Helmut Marko were to leave Red Bull for the German team.

Furthermore, since the departure of Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has publicly courted Verstappen, however the champion insists he will remain at Red Bull with a contract until 2028.

Red Bull endured a difficult weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix, with both drivers’ struggling to match the pace of their rivals due to the bumps and kerbs around the street circuit.

Verstappen finished the weekend in sixth, whilst Sergio Perez barely made it past the first corner before colliding with both Haas’ and completely destroying his Red Bull.

The Monaco Grand Prix weekend hinted at the end of Red Bull’s dominance, which could lead to Verstappen looking at other F1 teams.
