According to the latest rumors, a possible move for Max Verstappen to McLaren in the near future cannot be ruled out.
Max Verstappen‘s future is a topic that continues to dominate the paddock. At the end of the Japanese Grand Prix, the four-time world champion confirmed his doubts and concerns about the current regulations, which could lead him to even consider retiring at the end of the season. The Dutchman, who also competes in GT racing, could also take a sabbatical or leave Red Bull to begin a new adventure in F1.
There are many rumors and speculations about the future of the 1997-born driver The latest, in fact, comes from former Caterham driver Giedo van der Garde, who, in a recent interview, spoke about Max’s future this way “Opinions don’t matter. Zak Brown, McLaren’s CEO, is simply a business sleuth who knows exactly what to do. Max’s move to McLaren could be a real option. It’s up to Max and his management to carefully evaluate what they want and where they can get the best deal. There’s no shortage of options, because everyone wants Max. McLaren has the advantage of being able to count on several Red Bull veterans with whom it has already achieved success, such as Rob Marshall and Will Courtenay.”
It seems like a deliberate strategy by McLaren to grab the best talent from the competition, a bit like Bayern Munich does in the Bundesliga; feelings don’t matter. Zak Brown has no qualms, and he knows exactly how to achieve his goal. Success only comes with the right people in the right place. As a team, you can have the best driver, but if the car doesn’t work, you’ll still be mid-table or at the bottom. Look at Red Bull.”
