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.

But to hear the driver tell it, he is “not too worried” about his championship chances. In an interview with Lawrence Barretto published on the official F1 website (a free subscription is required), Verstappen opened up about the state of play at Red Bull in 2025, and his future in the sport.
