Given Red Bull's performance this year and the FIA's private battle with Max Verstappen, it was already doubtful what the Dutchman's next move would be, but his recent statement has added another layer of uncertainty...
The defending world champion has said that whatever he does in the future will DEFINITELY be his last move. That is, as far as Formula 1 is concerned. This could mean a sudden and shocking, Nico Rosberg-like retirement after winning another world title. It could mean a transfer to the Mercedes team, with which Jos Verstappen is reportedly in increasingly intense negotiations. But it could also mean that he follows star designer Adrian Newey and ends up at Aston Martin: And yes, of course it could also happen that everything stays the same and after 2028 (which is when Verstappen's current contract ends) he signs an agreement with Red Bull Racing that will tie him to the Austrian team for the rest of his career.
