The rumour mill surrounding Max Verstappen’s future shot into overdrive before Silverstone, but the indications are that the four-time F1 World Champion will remain with Red Bull in 2026.

Max Verstappen, who is currently signed with Red Bull, is in talks with Mercedes over changing sides, according to The Guardian. The negotiations have reportedly intensified leading up to this weekend's British Grand Prix.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has said Max Verstappen still intends to stay with the team for next year despite speculation about a move to Mercedes which would shake up Formula 1.
