Max Verstappen has a history of giving his fans the impression that he is about to retire by making statements such as “I don’t want to do this for a long time because I want to do other things.” And now, Mark Hughes, who will soon reveal the biography on the Red Bull star, alleges that he won’t even see the conclusion of his contract and will leave roughly $180,000,000 to get away from the annoyance he deems to be within Formula 1. Hughes will soon release the history on the Red Bull star.
Formula One has seen significant transformations ever since Verstappen began competing. And the Dutch race driver isn’t happy with all of the changes going on around him, and according to Hughes, he is ‘done’ with all of the commotion and chaos.
To such an extent that he is not even willing to go for the record number of world championships, beating Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, given that he may contend for the championship until the conclusion of his contract with Red Bull. This is because he values his reputation and his relationship with Red Bull so highly.
The conclusion of Max Verstappen’s current deal will not come to pass.
Hughes said that Verstappen is ‘old school’ and that he does not love the process that is now being used. And the fact that everything that he dislikes is always being brought to his attention saps a little bit more of his energy.
If I had to venture and estimate, I would say that I believe he will continue to run until the end of this formula, which will be in the year 2025. I seriously doubt that there will be an 8th World Championship held. The only goal that mattered was coming out on top. I have my doubts that he will stick around till the end of his contract. In the Race F1 podcast, Hughes referred to it as being “too long.”
Hughes is also of the opinion that Verstappen is not happy enough to wait until 2028 to leave Formula One. As a result, he has the potential to walk away with nearly $180,000,000, given that the existing arrangement provides him with an annual income of $60,000,000.
He has an excessive amount of wealth.
At the moment, Verstappen is having a great run in Formula One. The entire world of motorsport is at his disposal, and the restrictions that are still in place make Red Bull the most formidable organization. Therefore, it is highly possible that he will withdraw from the tournament after the dominant period has come to an end.
The new engine regulations have the potential to displace Red Bull from the top spot in the standings. Red Bull will no longer have the wonderful services of Honda at their side, and they have partnered with Ford, who has been absent from Formula One for nearly two decades, to produce their own engine. Already dissatisfied with the degree to which the new unit is dependent on its batteries, Verstappen asserts that the team with the most powerful engine will emerge victorious.
When all of these factors are considered, it’s possible that Verstappen will retire before 2026. However, Hughes is confident that Verstappen won’t be troubled by the riches he would have to lose because he believes that Verstappen has already made enough money to support himself.
