Details of Max Verstappen exit clause emerge and how Red Bull star can cancel contract
Max Verstappen can reportedly escape from his Red Bull contract if he is not in the top two of the Drivers’ Championship standings by the summer break. The Dutchman currently trails the McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris after five rounds of the 2025 season. The reigning world champion is chasing a fifth successive Drivers’ Championship crown in 2025, which would see him pull level with Michael Schumacher in the record books for consecutive F1 titles.
However, McLaren are standing in his way, and the Woking-based squad have two drivers capable of fighting for the top honours. While McLaren have started the season fast, Red Bull have stuttered and stalled. Verstappen was able to claim a victory in Japan, but required a career-highlight pole lap and some stout defending to do so.
