    Max needs to do with Jos what Lewis did with his dad, Anthony. Anthony was his manager until Lewis won his 2008 title, then took a step back once it became clear his son didn't need him anymore. Now he's supporting him from a distance. Jos meanwhile is a very different kind of dad. Anthony just wanted his son to be happy and succeed. Jos had a mid F1 career himself and is clearly trying to live vicariously through his son. I really think he sees Max as purely an extension of himself.

      ​@@cpgm.2k Max pretty much got brought up by Jos. Of course he loves his mum and sister, but he spent most of his time with Jos. Apparently they didn't expect him to want to race but (somehow, I don't remember how) he got to have a go in a kart aged 3 and from that moment they had an absolutely hooked toddler with an obvious natural talent. (Having had 4 toddlers of my own, I know how hot headed they can be!) You can just imagine what went through Jos' mind.
      Jos was a fine racer himself who had no luck with the way his F1 career went . He'd end up in teams just as they were heading downhill, etc. He clearly didn't want that to happen to Max, which is why he's been such a dick. I think he's overprotective. But I think it would definitely help Max if they could keep Jos out of the garage. He needs to have a bit more space. Having said that, Max left home aged 18 to move to Monaco (which is where his manager lives IIRC). That might speak volumes itself.

    To add to the engine formula point: even if that doesnt happen and it stays an aero formula or a balance of both, current rumours suggest that if Max would leave for Merc, Adrian "the juggernaut" Newey is likely to join Mercedes. Which, if you think Max and RB are dominating now, is gonna be a whole different shitshow. Thats lapping the entire field territory of speculation.
    Honestly, as much as i didnt think it could happen before, i kinda wanna see it. Even if its just for the sheer drama and the possibility of Sainz or Alonso getting that 2025 championship.

    Am I the only one who thinks that it's all about being loyal to Helmut rather than listening to Jos? There are some huge tensions inside RedBull Racing - it looked like Horner wanted to get rid of Marko last year but Austrians supported old man. Chirstian want to be like Toto and have some shares in RBR - at the end of the day he is responsible in huge way for their succes. If he won't leave the team it means he thinks that he is bigger than Max, Helmut and Newey. And lets remember that Max have special connection with Helmut so if RedBull decide to take Horner side and fire Marko - Max may go with him. Neither driver want to leave such dominant team but if there is one who could do it, it's Max. Personally I woud love to see Verstappen in diffrent car fighting with other drivers, now he have no competition due to such amazing car build by Adrian...

They're not going to get rid of either of them. Look how long they held onto Bottas with Russell stuck in Williams" argument right there in front of him.

    Not a chance, the worst that could happen is that Horner will be asked to leave and then Redbull will continue to dominate. Getting rid of Horner will also not suddenly mean that the car will become bad or that Max will lose his focus. Entertaining to speculate but not going to happen.

    Charles has enough of Ferrari, jumps ship to Merc for 2025. RB implodes and Max jumps to the now vacant Ferrari seat to partner Lewis Hamilton…

    It makes complete sense as Ford might decide not to participate in the 2026 venture (adventure) with Red Bull. Marco will be willing to go to Mercedes and take the role of Lauda (both Toto and Marco are Austrian). And even Newey could be interested to design the new Mercedes as he will like to make use of the vast know how of Mercedes in constructing a complete new car . Toto has also all the necessary financial means to convince Max and Newey. For F1 fans it is also a win/win situation as 2025 will be more of a challenge.
    It also will give Horner the possibility to take over Red Bull with support of RedBull Thailand and start his own team.

    Man, just imagine a 2025 season where Lewis is at Ferrari, Max at Mercedes, Nando and Carlos or Alex at Red Bull... And then 2026 rolls around with engine centric regulations :o
