Max Verstappen has been told of three options that are a possibility for him for the 2027 F1 season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Dutchman has a contract in place with Red Bull until the end of 2028, however it is believed there are performance clauses in his deal that could allow him to leave early.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen has not yet formally verified his spot on the grid next year, leading to speculation over where he could end up.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
While remaining at Red Bull seems the most likely option, former F1 driver Gerhard Berger believes talks with other squads are ongoing.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, there\u2019s a lot of gossip going on, a lot of discussions going on,\u201d Berger told F1.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, Max needs to see if there is any possibility for him to continue to win the World Championship, already next year.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, that always makes discussions \u2013 one of them is McLaren, one of them is Mercedes, one of them is Red Bull. That\u2019s the typical thing at this time of year.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen has been left unhappy with the performance of the Red Bull car this year and its balance issues.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It is the only team inside the top four that is yet to take a grand prix victory this year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Berger has suggested Verstappen will be more inclined not to jump ship if Red Bull returns from the summer break in improved form.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the summer break, we will see if Red Bull have fixed their reliability issues, if teams bring a couple of modifications, and who in the second half of the season is the frontrunner,\u201d\u00a0he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAll that we want to see, and what the fans want to see, is three or four teams on a similar level \u2013 and that everybody has a chance to win.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Verstappen has been told of three options that are a possibility for him for the 2027 F1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":846549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-852331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/846549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
