Ecclestone hopes this means Verstappen will remain with Red Bull, despite rumors of a potential move to Mercedes. Speaking to media, Ecclestone advised: “I think he should be where he's happy. And wherever it's going to be, as long as he's happy, he'll still be able to perform the way he's performing now, because he's not a guy that messes around, is he? I mean, very straightforward on what he says and what he does.” — Ecclestone expressed his desire for Verstappen to continue his journey with Red Bull: “I'd like to see him stay where he is.” — Verstappen's future at Red Bull has become a hot topic, especially after Red Bull's sudden announcement of team principal Christian Horner's release. Gerhard Berger, a former grand prix winner, speculated this move was to retain Verstappen. Berger shared his thoughts with Krone Zeitung: “As we know, the Verstappens and Horner were not the best of friends. I do think Max will stay at Red Bull.” “You could see it was going this way at Red Bull Racing. If Horner was really surprised, that's a bad sign, because even as an outsider you could have guessed it. It's much more about stabilising the whole team at the moment and getting Max Verstappen back into it properly.” “Red Bull Racing is currently in a downward spiral. Now the goal should be to rebuild the team properly.” — Verstappen's performance this season, keeping McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in check, highlights his talent. However, with only two wins in 2025, his title hopes are slim, trailing Piastri by XX points. Speculation about his future intensified after Mercedes driver George Russell mentioned "ongoing" talks between Mercedes and Verstappen, which neither Verstappen nor Mercedes denied.
