Max Verstappen: Could the F1 Superstar Be Racing in Ferrari Red Soon?

In a stunning twist at the Italian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen found himself embraced by the passionate Tifosi as he clinched victory, raising eyebrows and questions about his future in Formula 1. With Ferrari still searching for their first win of the season, the support for the reigning World Champion from the Italian crowd was palpable. Could this be the beginning of a relationship that sees Verstappen donning the iconic scarlet colors of Ferrari before he hangs up his racing gloves?

David Croft, a commentator for Sky Sports, captured the moment perfectly, stating, “I love the fact that Tifosi, in light of the fact that neither Charles nor Lewis could get on the podium, decided Max Verstappen was the one they wanted to adopt.” The atmosphere was electric, with the crowd even breaking into an impromptu anthem for Verstappen over the sounds of the Dutch and Austrian national anthems. This unprecedented adoration begs the question: Is it time to entertain the idea of Verstappen racing for Ferrari?

Ralf Schumacher certainly thinks so. He highlighted the intriguing comments made by Verstappen’s father, Jos, prior to the Monza race regarding a potential future with Ferrari. “I somehow have the feeling that the Italians can already imagine that the fastest man on the track at the moment will soon be driving a Ferrari,” Schumacher remarked. The notion that Verstappen could fit seamlessly into the Ferrari family is further supported by the current dynamics within the team under the leadership of Fred Vasseur.

However, not everyone is on board with this romantic notion. Former F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone threw cold water on the idea, asserting that a move to Ferrari could potentially signal the end of Verstappen’s illustrious career. “If he goes to Ferrari, that would be the end of his career. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen,” Ecclestone declared, referencing Ferrari’s long-standing struggle to reclaim glory since Kimi Raikkonen’s 2007 championship win.

When asked about the possibility of Verstappen wearing the Ferrari emblem, former Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto, now with Audi, provided a cryptic response. He acknowledged Verstappen’s status as a top driver, saying, “There is a top driver: Max. He makes the difference.” Yet, he added, “It’s every driver’s dream” to race for Ferrari, leaving the door ajar for speculation.

Verstappen himself has weighed in on the buzz surrounding a potential move, revealing that discussions about Ferrari are indeed on the table. “Is there a chance? Yes, there are a lot of chances in life for any kind of decision,” he admitted. However, he emphasized that his primary goal remains winning races, regardless of the team. “If I would ever want to go there, I don’t go there just to drive for Ferrari, I go there because I see the opportunity to win,” he stated.

As it stands, Verstappen is contracted with Red Bull through the 2026 season, but the uncertainty looms large for 2027. Helmut Marko has hinted that Verstappen holds clauses that could allow him to exit if the circumstances align favorably.

With the drama of the Italian Grand Prix still fresh and the question of Verstappen’s future hanging in the air, one thing is clear: the F1 world is watching closely. Will the Tifosi’s affection for Verstappen lead to a future partnership with Ferrari, or will the Dutch driver continue his quest for supremacy with Red Bull? Only time will tell, but the racing landscape is about to get even more thrilling.
