Max Verstappen has dismissed concerns that he might consider leaving Red Bull, after last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix proved to be a turbulent day for the team.

After the first two practice sessions at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Verstappen is again sounding the alarm. Verstappen sat out the first practice session, as Red Bull handed over driving duties to reserve Ayumu Iwasa to satisfy one of four required rookie driving sessions on the season.

Max Verstappen produced another scintillating qualifying lap to stun McLaren and claim pole position for Formula One’s 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix ahead of Oscar Piastri. Lando Norris crashed in Q3 in the other McLaren.
