Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok is doubtful 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is seriously looking at potentially leavi🐬ng Red Bull for Mercedes amid the ongoing Christian Horner situation.

The rumour mill was sent into overdrive following the Bahrain Grand Prix after Jos Versta🔜ppen’s strong comments against Horner, claiming Red Bullꦡ could be torn apart.

While Horner 🍃was cleared of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour, the saga has continued to roll on.

On top of Jos’ aforementioned comments, he was seen talking to Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, leading to a raft of speculation linking the reigning world champion wi⛄th a move to Brackley.

Speaking on Sky’s F1 coverage for this weekend’s S๊audi Arabian GP, Chandhok gave his view on the situation.

“Jos’ first loyalty is going to lie with his son and ultimately, above everything else, as a father he wants what is best for Max and what is best  for Max is having him in the best car p🎶ossible, winning lots of championships and carrying on this journey that he’s on at the moment,” he said.

“Despite all of the stuff that came out and exploded all over the internet on Monday, I don’t believe Max is looking to go to Mercedes. It set the rumour miꦓll into overdrive. I could be proved wrong.

“I didn’t think Lewis would go🅘 to Ferrari and I was wrong there.I believe Mr Yoovidhya was at that meeting between Raymond and Christian as well. I think they’re trying to bring the attention, while the situation is unfolding in a private way, in terms of Max, they’re trying to focus the attention back on what’s happening on track.”

Former W Series driver Naomi Schiff suggested that rumours could stem from the fact that Red Bull are building their own power ꩲunit for 2026.

Given that it’s the first time in their F1 history they will do so, there’s questions a✨bout how competitive Red Bull will be relative to proven manufacturers such as Ferra𝐆ri or Mercedes.

“It’s a tough moment for everyone in the paddock,” he added. “Lewis started a chain of events. It’s almost like a tetris game has been unleashed and we’re waitingꦍ to💝 see where all these pieces are going to fit. Ultimately right now, this Red Bull is still a cut above the rest.

“For Max, he will be looking for a car he can h⛦ave championship wins with. We know his ambition isn’t to stay in F1 forever. Essentially, he’s going to go where he’s promised of a good team.

“2026 regula♉tions change - will Red Bull still have a dominant car? Is that Red Bull engine rumoured to be good or not? That poten𝔉tially could be something starting this rumour.”
