Committed to Red Bull for next season, Martin Brundle acknowledges Max Verstappen cannot continue to “carry” Red Bull when there are other options available to him in F1 2027. After months of debate, speculation and clandestine meetings – some more based in fact than others – Verstappen has committed his future to Red Bull Racing.

F1 legend Juan Pablo Montoya has warned that Red Bull could face a long road back to the top, suggesting it may take up to four years for the team to recover their dominance. Max Verstappen has won four consecutive drivers’ titles, enjoying the most dominant season in the sport’s history in 2024, winning 19 of 22 races.
