MODERATORS
Kinda surprised me, actually. Red Bull has been pretty poor performer recently in spite of Verstappen's amazing talent. RB doesn't have Newey anymore for aero, and won't have the Honda power plant for 2026, but all the rule changes for 2026 mean RB can't ride on existing completed legacy work that folks aren't there anymore to recreate in 2026 rule conformity.
If Max wanted to make a jump he'd have a whole bunch of good reasons to do so. Toto has as good power plant, a very competitive car, a huge chequebook, and a still stinging lesson to listen to their star driver when changes are needed.
How many people have said "Just imagine how good Max would be doing right now if he were in a good car!"
He would have done well with the silver arrows, I think.
Max wants another championship so IMHO its best he waits to see which team is competitive next year then make his decision.
Exactly this. Absolutely idiotic to lock in now when he can just jump ship next year after knowing who has the best car.
