Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna? Not even Max Verstappen would have realized by now that the next step of his F1 career could mirror a trajectory and approach the two former legends took in their careers. The Dutch driver is in a peculiar situation where he's already established himself on the grid as the best talent. That being said, he's also in a precarious situation where his future is uncertain.
The driver is on a long-term contract with Red Bull until 2028. With that being said, the contract has far too many exit clauses that put him in a situation where he can leave the team if something better comes up.
When the contract was signed, many would have thought that Verstappen would continue to be a part of the team until the expiry of his contract. Red Bull at the time was the benchmark in F1 with the best overall package. Things don't look as good a couple of years into the contract.
