In a seismic shift within Formula 1, Red Bull Racing has officially terminated Max Verstappen’s contract, bringing an abrupt end to one of the sport’s most dominant and iconic partnerships in recent history.
The announcement came early this morning through a formal statement issued by Red Bull Racing, confirming that the team and the three-time World Champion have mutually agreed to part ways. Although details remain limited, insiders suggest the decision follows months of growing internal tension and uncertainty about Verstappen’s long-term commitment to the Milton Keynes-based team.
Verstappen, who joined Red Bull in 2016 and delivered multiple championship titles, expressed a mix of gratitude and determination in his brief response. “I’ve had an incredible journey with Red Bull. We’ve made history together. But it’s time for a new chapter, and I’m looking forward to what lies ahead,” he said.
Team Principal Christian Horner commented on the development, stating: “Max will always be a part of Red Bull’s legacy. We thank him for his immense contribution and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
The F1 paddock is now buzzing with speculation over where Verstappen could land next. Early rumors suggest Mercedes or Aston Martin could emerge as potential destinations, with both teams currently reviewing their 2026 driver lineups in light of this dramatic turn of events.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
