Jack Jack Jack. What nonsense you talk.
Max Verstappen has been racing for the Austrian Red Bull team since 2016, winning four championship titles in Formula 1.
The Dutch driver's current contract with Red Bull runs until the end of the 2028 season; however, journalist Jack Plooij believes Max Verstappen will not fulfill it due to a performance clause concerning the car.
Previously, Max Verstappen admitted that he had been in talks with Mercedes management regarding a possible team switch. Additionally, head of the German team Toto Wolff stated that the team needs to prepare for the potential arrival of the Dutch driver.
