Now that Max Verstappen has confirmed that he intends to remain with Red Bull Racing through 2026, pundit Martin Brundle has branded suggestions that Verstappen met up with Toto Wolff in Sardinia as being “clickbait.

The Belgian Grand Prix was the first race in Red Bull’s history without Christian Horner as team principal. His exit was confirmed just after the British GP, catching the entire F1 community off guard.

Max Verstappen says Christian Horner’s shock dismissal as Red Bull team principal has “made no difference” to his decision over whether to stay at the team, adding “only time will tell” if it is the right move on the part of the team’s shareholders.
