The prevailing belief is that Max Verstappen will remain with Red Bull for the 2025 season, aiming for a fifth world championship. Although his contract with the team extends until the end of the 2028 season, Verstappen has confirmed his commitment to Red Bull, emphasizing his focus on next year’s car development.
Despite Toto Wolff’s efforts to mitigate the impact of Lewis Hamilton’s potential move to Ferrari, Verstappen’s continued association with Red Bull seemed certain. However, recent developments have shifted the odds, making a move to Mercedes a more conceivable scenario. This potential switch could become one of the most significant driver market changes in history, even more surprising than Hamilton’s transfer to Ferrari.
