In a dramatic turn of events, Max Verstappen has officially activated his exit clause, prompting Red Bull Racing to confirm a brand-new driver lineup ahead of the British Grand Prix.
The reigning world champion will not participate at Silverstone, as internal tensions and ongoing rumors about a potential team switch finally come to a head.

With Verstappen now on the market and Mercedes reportedly monitoring the situation closely, the Formula 1 landscape could be about to experience one of its biggest driver moves in years.
