Max Verstappen has ended speculation over his short-term future by insisting he will stay at Red Bull for the 2026 F1 season.

Four-time F1 world champion Verstappen, who has a £50m-a-deal until the end of the 2028 season, has been strongly linked with Mercedes in recent months ahead of a new set of F1 regulations next year, with the Silver Arrows the rumoured frontrunners. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has previously declared his interest in signing one of the sport’s generational talents.

Verstappen has also only won two races this year in a car which is the fourth-quickest on the grid and, as detailed by The Independent on Tuesday, the Dutchman has an exit clause allowing him to leave if he is lower than third in the drivers’ standings by the summer break.

The final timesheet is is now, so here’s how FP1 has finished.

Verstappen has only managed to take ninth place, while some other cars are still out there doing practice starts.

Lando Norris has set the pace then, as he remains 0.019s ahead of Piastri.

The chequered flag has gone up!
