By Bousfield, James a few minutes ago Thread Follow Share Copy link to clipboard Verstappen, Max Although a clause in Max Verstappen’s contract that would have allowed him to leave Red Bull has reportedly been removed, another apparent loophole would allow the Dutchman to drive for another team well before his current contract ends. The company with its headquarters in Milton Keynes is still in a good position to win the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships, but they have had to put in more effort than they might have expected after easily winning both titles last season. With their most recent victory coming in Spain five races ago, Red Bull appears to be losing ground on the rest of the paddock over the past few months. The Dutch driver will want to make up for the drop in his team’s performance this weekend at his home race. However, if Red Bull’s issues persist, the 26-year-old could be allowed to terminate his contract. What Relationships Exist Between Verstappen’s Contract and Red Bull’s Performance The three-time world champion has the longest F1 driver contract, but there is also an escape clause. Max Verstappen’s contract had previously included several exit clauses, according to a De Telegraf report. One of these is the “Helmut Marko clause,” which lets Max go if team director Marko leaves his job. However, this is no longer the case because the agreement was revised after both parties agreed to it. Despite this, Verstappen would be allowed to end his career early at Red Bull in one way. The Dutch superstar’s contract is said to contain a number of “necessary performance clauses” that could be activated if Red Bull’s dominance of the sport begins to wane. If the results deteriorated to the point where he “could no longer manage on his own,” Verstappen would be permitted to leave.
