Max Verstappen has been participating in Formula 1 since 2015. After his recent victory at the Chinese Grand Prix, he firmly believes he deserves a place among the top five greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. Verstappen is known for his record-breaking achievements and unwavering determination to win.
Verstappen has emerged victorious in four out of the five races held this season, becoming the highest-scoring driver and placing himself at the top of the standings. Since 2022, he has consistently been the driver to beat in the world of car racing.
Nico Rosberg, former Formula 1 driver, couldn’t help but praise Verstappen after witnessing his impressive performance both in the race and in Shanghai.
Verstappen is currently under a long-term contract with Red Bull, which expires in 2028. He has utilized Red Bull’s vision with the RB20 to deliver exceptional performances on the track.
Throughout this season, rumors have been circulating linking Verstappen, the current world champion, to Mercedes due to internal conflicts within Red Bull. Max’s father, Jos Verstappen, was particularly unhappy with the controversy surrounding the team principal and its consequences for the team.
Despite Max Verstappen’s clear statement that he has no intention of leaving Red Bull, his father, Jos Verstappen, has left the possibility open.
The current regulations will remain in effect until the end of the 2025 season. Furthermore, the future is uncertain and both Jos and Max will have to make a decision considering this factor. The next few months will be intriguing as we wait to see where the 26-year-old driver will end up next year.
