Guenther Steiner makes Max Verstappen prediction with ‘calmed down’ verdict
Guenther Steine𓃲r has made a prediction about Max Verstappen's F1 future.
Former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner reckons 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen will stay at Red Bull after noting how the situat🎃ཧion at the team has “calmed down”.
The reigning world champion has found himself linked with a shock switch to replace the Ferrari-bound 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes after doubts were cast over his Redဣ Bull future.
Speculation has been rife amidꦗ off-track turmoil at Red Bull following the controversy around team principal Christian Horner and a subsequent falling൲ out with Verstappen’s father, Jos.
Explosive comments from Verstappen Sr at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix fuelled suggestions that his son could quit Red Bull, whil♔e the three-time world champion effectively threatened to leave when there was brief uncertainty over the future of motorsport advisor Helmet Marko.
But the turbulence around Red Bull appears to have eased and Verstappen reiterated at the recent Australian Grand Prix that he intends to see out the remaind🅷er of his contract, wh𓆉ich runs to 2028.
“I think it has calmed down lately, what is going on there," Steiner𝓀 told Sky Sports News.
"So I𒈔 think getting out of the contract would be not easy for him. We don't have insight to the contract but𓆏 I think it's also a good team to drive for at this moment.
"In Max's own interest, he likes the car there, he likes the team so if there ඣis not anything really disturbing him personally, I think he doesn't really want to move.
“He's won so much with th🅰at team, the team gave him the opportunity in the beginning to get into F1, so I think if they get the personal relatioꦿnships going again, he will be staying.”
However, if Verstappen were to♈ leave Red Bull, Steiner reckons Merced𒆙es would be his most likely destination, with Toto Wolff admitting the Silver Arrows would “love” to secure the Dutchman’s services.
"I think everyone in Formula 1 at the moment is interested in Max Verওstappen," Steiner added. "It'𓆉s more about where he wants to go.
"It could be Mercedes, who obviously have got a free s⛄eat with Lewis going to Ferrari. Aston Martin as well is a possibility, but I think if Max goes 𓄧somewhere, I guess he would go to Mercedes."
