Red Bull Racing recently commented on the clauses in Max Verstappen's contract. Former F1 driver Christijan Albers also reacted to the saga surrounding Max Verstappen's future after FP2 on Viaplay, making a striking statement.
Albers believes that Zak Brown and Toto Wolff are collaborating to lure Verstappen to Mercedes. ‘’Those two, Zak and Toto, can fuel the fire a bit. Their only goal is to make life as difficult as possible for Christian Horner, especially in England. Horner obviously loves the attention from all the newspapers. Zak Brown and Toto seize their moment. Brown can say more, as he is more on the sidelines.’’
‘’I don’t think he’s too worried about it anymore, but I think he’s more trying to help. Because at the end of the story, they also have a Mercedes engine in the back, so what Mercedes says, they also want to help with.’’

Horner mysterious about Verstappen's future

Christian Horner has admitted that there are performance clauses in Max Verstappen's contract and manager Raymond Vermeulen has responded to the rumors about Verstappen. However, GPblog knows that Verstappen would prefer to stay with Red Bull, but a clause can be triggered if he is ranked lower than third place in the drivers' standings going into the summer.
