Trader consensus favors Max Verstappen continuing beyond 2026 at 76% implied probability on "No," despite his late-March admission of not enjoying Formula 1 under the new sustainable power unit and active aero regulations that have relegated Red Bull to midfield battles. Currently P9 in driver standings with just 12 points after early Grands Prix like Australia (P6) and China (DNF), Verstappen faces team turmoil from longtime race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase's departure to McLaren, fueling speculation. Yet, his contract through 2028, father Jos's confidence in his persistence, and absence of any official retirement announcement underscore skepticism toward these threats in a season still unfolding. George Russell's recent conflicted remarks highlight the sport's resilience beyond any single driver.
