According to Dutch media reports, Ferrari is also monitoring the situation surrounding Max Verstappen’s future.
Max Verstappen could create a real domino effect in the upcoming driver transfer window. The four-time world champion, at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix, threatened a possible retirement at the end of the current season due to a regulation that doesn’t fit the Dutchman’s racing spirit. These range from retirement to a possible move to McLaren (given Lambiase’s transfer in 2028), through a return to Mercedes, and now even Ferrari.
According to Erik Van Haren, who has always been close to Verstappen’s concerns, the Maranello team is also monitoring the four-time world champion’s situation. Here are the journalist’s words, in detail: “I could imagine that Max might start looking elsewhere if Red Bull can’t find a solution to its problems. At some point, the classic straw that breaks the camel’s back could arrive: it will be interesting to see what he decides in the coming weeks and months. .
A lot is happening behind the scenes, and even more will happen in the coming months around Verstappen. McLaren’s Zak Brown is very fascinated by Max, and there’s respect between the two. With Lambiase on board, they’ll have an extra ace up their sleeve. But not only that: Mercedes and Ferrari will certainly also be keeping an eye on Verstappen’s situation.” “.
