However, Helmut Marko has done little to quell rumors surrounding Max Verstappen’s potential departure from Red Bull. The veteran team adviser confirmed that the three-time world champion has a performance-based exit clause in his contract. This clause could lead Verstappen to leave the team—or Formula One entirely—if he feels Red Bull is not making enough progress in developing a competitive car.
“Max isn’t focused on surpassing the records set by [Michael] Schumacher or [Lewis] Hamilton. His main goal when he’s in the car is to win. However, the environment needs to be conducive to that. If he feels that things aren’t working for him anymore, he could decide to walk away at any moment.”
“Most elite drivers have performance-related exit clauses, and Max is no exception. This implies that if we cannot offer him a car capable of competing at the front, he will definitely take that into account.”
“Many top drivers have exit clauses tied to performance, and Max is included in that group. This means that if we’re unable to provide him with a car that allows him to compete at the front, it’s something he will seriously consider.”
