Tensions are growing between the Verstappen camp and Red Bull, as Max Verstappen is very unhappy with how his season is going so far. The Dutchman as claimed just one podium in the first eight races, retiring from a further four. Verstappen’s retirements in Bahrain, Canada and Azerbaijan all came from car issues.
The 19-year-old’s frustration was clearly shown following the Azerbaijan last weekend, as after the race he returned home immediately, refusing to speak to the press and landing himself a 25,000 euro fine.
With a seat available at both Ferrari and Mercedes next season, Verstappen has been linked to a seat at both teams.
