Dutch racer Max Verstappen said “strange things” could take him away from the Red Bull team, but confirmed that his intention was to stay put for now

Realism has set in at Red Bull Racing: only with a miracle will the Austrian team give Max Verstappen the chance to fight for the world title this season. Because honestly, there's really no one who believes in that.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says Max Verstappen is free to let off steam in other motorsport series, but reaffirmed that the Dutchman’s “focus has to be” on Formula 1 following a secret test at the Nurburgring last week.
