Max Verstappen 's future with Red Bull has been further complicated by a statement from his father and ex-Formula 1 racer Jos Verstappen. Verstappen, who currently races for Red Bull F1 team, managed to claim his fourth consecutive world championship title in 2024, once again crushing the competition to win the trophy with two races to spare.

Jos Verstappen has refused to rule out a Red Bull exit for his son Max Verstappen. Max enters 2025 seeking a fifth consecutive F1 championship but knowing his task is harder than ever. Although he clung onto the 2024 title with a series of brilliant drives, McLaren significantly closed the gap to the previously dominant Red Bull.

Jos Verstappen has expressed his concerns over Red Bull’s ability to produce a title-winning car for his son in 2025.

Verstappen has previously made it clear that he does not have ambitions to break record after record in the sport, but given he is contracted to Red Bull until 2028, there seems a good chance that he will add further championships to his tally in the future, even though he was linked away from the team in 2024 as the team suffered a slump in form.

Max Verstappen may be a four-time F1 world champion but, according to Jacques Villeneuve, if he leaves, people will get over it.
