Red-Bull-Geheimnis entschlüsselt: Verstappen 2027 frei für Mercedes-Wechsel

Max Verstappen verweigert weiterhin jede Aussage, wo er in Zukunft fährt. Doch mittlerweile scheint sicher, dass der Weltmeister 2026 bei Red Bull bleibt. Danach stehen ihm aber alle Türen offen.

The latest speculation - Max to stay at Red Bull for the first year of the new regs, then jump to whichever team is on top (or stay if the RBR/Ford engine is better than expected).
 
I hope he doesn't end his career at Red Bull, I want to see how he would handle being at a different team. Him and Russel is the team mate battle I want the most.

Franz Herman vs Jude Law is one of hell of a storyline.

Is worth watching.

It sure is. I'm not a Max fan but seeing him in this and how he talks about his driving, you can tell how passionate he is about his craft. It was very interesting to see that which also had me genuinely interested to see what else he would do outside of what he's already achieved in F1. IMO, the video is well done and Chris Harris is a good host.

Max Verstappen: Red Bull driver says he will remain with team for 2026 F1 season following speculation over Mercedes move

Max Verstappen has put an end to short-term speculation over his future, committing to Red Bull for the 2026 F1 season; watch Fridays practice sessions for the Hungarian Grand Prix at 12pm and 4pm, live on Sky Sports F1

Now that’s all over we can talk about the rest of the market, although there’s not many seats up for grabs.

Cadillac still haven’t announced any signings, despite Perez/Bottas/Schumacher/Drugovich/Herta etc all being constantly linked.

Alpine’s 2nd seat is likely available. Aron has the inside track with the extra testing and FP sessions he can do. They might prefer a more experienced/reliable option like Bottas.

I think most people expect Lindblad to be in one of the RBs. Hadjar has been good all season and Lawson better of late. Maybe Isacc gets sacrificed into the 2nd Red Bull instead of Tsunoda.

Don’t think there are any other openings. Antonelli/Bearman/Bortoleto have probably done enough to get a 2nd season.

If Alex Dunne wins F2 he’ll likely be the latest champ with nowhere in F1 to step up. Maybe he gets sent to Indycar or WEC.
 
Can't say I'm surprised. Its abit too risky to make seat swaps this close to a big regulation change.
 
Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas are both likely to return to F1 in 2026 as drivers for Cadillac. I think this would be a wise decision by Cadillac to go in with a such a duo of experienced drivers.

If true then I agree. It's hard to get established in F1 as a new tram and experience can be critical to that, both still have a lot to offer pace wise as well and are a safe pair of hands.

I'd have doubts about Bottas' pace personally. Perez needs a competitive car to rebuild his reputation after how sour his Red Bull tenure ended. But as for an experienced duo, sure, Cadillac couldn't really get two better drivers.
 
I'm also more on the side that both are done in F1. I could understand Checo with his money and a young gun or still Schumacher with a good 2-3 years of experience and still young enough mixture probably best choice besides those very old ones lacking pace.

I don't know about Bottas, but Checo is reportedly going to be named after the break.
Multiple sources have told PlanetF1.com that Perez has reached an agreement with Cadillac that will see him return to the grid, with an announcement expected in the weekend of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
