In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Formula 1 paddock, Red Bull Racing has officially confirmed that Max Verstappen will not be taking part in Thursday’s mandatory pre-race media activities ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The Dutch driver’s absence marks a rare deviation from standard F1 protocol, sparking widespread speculation over his current situation within the team.
While Red Bull insists the decision is based on “schedule adjustments” to help Verstappen focus on race preparations, insiders suggest it may point to growing unrest behind the scenes. This comes just days after reports emerged that Verstappen could trigger his early exit clause, amid alleged tensions with senior Red Bull figures and dissatisfaction with the team’s direction.
