Martin Brundle has a theory for when we should notice Max Verstappen will be preparing to leave Formula 1, and Australia was evidence of the opposite...
Martin Brundle believes the moment Max Verstappen loses his “fiery passion”, even in retiring from a race, that is the moment he is likely to be thinking about leaving Formula 1.
While he has been open in admitting that he is unsure if he will continue in the sport beyond the end of his current contract with Red Bull in 2028, with other interests such as GT and endurance racing that he wants to tick off in his career, Brundle explained that he believes Verstappen will only think about walking away from the Formula 1 paddock when that “fiery passion” begins to dissipate.
“Nothing against Red Bull or its drivers, they’ve been immense, but the chorus of ‘F1 needed that’ echoed through the paddock post-race. “It was all inconsequential because his rear-brake caliper stuck on the grid, akin to leaving the handbrake on, and would quickly and spectacularly overheat that corner meaning he would experience his first non-finish for 43 races.“McLaren kept Ferrari remarkably honest with their race pace suggesting Verstappen would have been right in there. We’ll never know the answer to the question of course, but my gut feeling all the way through was that it was Ferrari’s day.
