Max Verstappen’s manager spotted with F1 rival after wild Red Bull exit prediction
Max Verstappen’s manager, Raymond Vermeulen, was spotted in conversation with Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes in the Jeddah Corniche Circuit paddock. Earlier this week, Ralf Schumacher suggested that the Enstone-based team could be a potential destination for the four-time world champion. Verstappen’s future has been the talk of the paddock this weekend following a miserable weekend in Bahrain.
Both Red Bull drivers struggled to extract performance from an ill-handling RB21 machine, and the Dutchman was only able to finish sixth at the chequered flag, overtaking Pierre Gasly on the final lap. The 27-year-old has been linked with both Mercedes and Aston Martin should he decide to call time on his Red Bull career, but according to former F1 driver Schumacher, Alpine might be an attractive option for Verstappen to consider.
