Barcelona. Always Barcelona. Here, in the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit, Max verstappen He always lives in the main quotes for his future. In 2016, he won the Red Bull by changing Kvyat in the course that started and made it to successBeing the youngest in history to achieve this. That has completely changed his career. Last year, starting to suffer from McLaren’s meteoric increase, this layout served to send a clear message of power against Norris. And a year later, The Catalan track can mark the road and fate again.
Many talks in the last two years of knowing that (and recognized) interests of Toto wolff ni Max. The Mercedes leader in 2024 has confirmed that he met the Dutch in Monaco to try to sign for this year. Something that never happened. And he admitted at that time that he would continue to try.
Aston Martin has even said something, because of the arrival of Newey And the promise that the green team will face, with all the ingredients to be a few years into one of the best projects. And all of this, in a context where Red Bull RB21 has not improved at the start of the courseBefore a better McLaren, with a poor car, which continues to suffer to reach the piano and slow curves.
Max always said what he wanted was a winning car. That was what motivated him and it would be the only reason he could be turned away from Red Bull. And in that sense, as the ‘MotorsPort.com’ portal explained, last year, the pilot changed its current contract binding the Red Bull until 2028. This is just a point that can allow him to leave before: A performance clause. If the car does not allow him to be among the best, he can choose a destination.
Apparently, this performance clause, always according to ‘motorsport’, It is stated that if Max Vrstappen belongs to the top 4 World Cup positions on F1 after June 30, after the Austrian GP dispute, he will not leave the teamthus confirming its continuation of 2026At the beginning of the new project with a modification of technical and engine policies, which included Ford -driven Red Bull. Therefore, the result in Barcelona is important and can mark the future in a short time.
To date, Verstappen is the third in the World Cup, with 57 points more than Charles Leclerc. In this way, if the max does not lose 7 points with respect to Moneygasco in this grand prix, the possible clause output is completely invalid and cancel.
Russell wants to proceed to Mercedes
For his part, another of those involved in the equation, George Russell, though there was no renewal of Mercedes, was told in an exclusive interview with MD that his mood would continue with Mercedes, who had not signed because he was “trusting” the team and the contracts did the same, and he didn’t “remember” about it. It invites you to think that George will not have complications to continue to lead the Mercedes project in 2026.
The circuit can be key again in the future of Max Verstappen. With a car that seemed to take a step forward with the evolution shown by the Red Bull in Icola, on a track that fits well with the characteristics of this car for a large number of fast curves there, Max could seal his promise to the Red Bull with the result he achieved on the track. McLaren is a favorite, but Max can hold the face again. He wants a new success in Catalan’s layout.
