168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s “hesitation🧸” to pu💜blicly commit to Red Bull has been questioned, with Mercedes still lurking in the background.

Verstappen has stated this weekend at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix that he inte💛nds to remain at Red Bull next year, but the manner of his commitment has provoked more questions.

Mercedes, who haven’t yet replaced Lewis Hamilton, have been war✅ned off 🦩by Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

Martin Brundle was asked if the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 F1 driver line-up was largely in place, but he told Sky Sports: ♚“The plot thickens…

“It does appear th♎at Mercedes are hanging around, 🍸waiting to see what happens with Verstappen at Red Bull.

“Whether that’s for 2025 or 2026, time will tell.

“There is, apparently, a signed letter which is an exit clause with Helmut Marko, allegedly, accordin𝔍g to the paddock, should Max want to leav🐈e.

“ဣChristian a♈bsolutely says that’s not going to happen.

“Max 🌳has been co𝔍nsistent with ‘I have got a long-term contract here, this is where I want to race’.

🌟“Christian made the point that Max has won every race, achieved every podium, every championship,with Red Bull. They are currently leading this one quite comfortably.

“Just have�💟� a think about that, for a minute. Why would he want to run away from that?

“But something is up! They are saying h🍸e’s going nowhere - next year, especially.”

The row betweeꦫn Jos Verstappen, the F1 champion’s father🦹, and Horner has cropped up again this weekend at Red Bull’s home grand prix.

A fall-out over ꦫa show run was the cause for an old feud to be reignited, prompting more doubt about Red Bull’s star driver’s future.

Horner cheekily told Mercedes to pursue Jos rather than M🎃ax.

Naomi Schiff reacted to Max insisting he would stay: “It didn’t seem he wanted to say yes with a lot of 🐼joy or 🐈confidence.

“There was📖 some sort of hesitation abo🥂ut having to say yes.

“Which, in itself, raises the question why he doesn’t say ‘yes, absolutely, I am staying wit𒊎h the team next year’.”

Brundle paid tribute to🤪 ཧhow Verstappen has navigated a tricky year amid politics within Red Bull.

“His talent has had🌃 to shine through,” Brundle said.

“What Max had to dance around, with all the shenanigans 🔜in the team, politics involving his dad and his team principal, he had to tread a fine line throﷺugh that and dominate the races. Hugely impressive.”
