Furthermore, amid rumors surrounding Newey’s departure, F1 Insider reports that Max Verstappen and his family will enter into contract negotiations with Mercedes starting from the Miami Grand Prix.

Since the middle of the 2022 F1 season, Max Verstappen has emerged as the most dominant force in the sport. The 26-year-old driver has consistently outperformed his rivals and become a constant presence at the top of the podium.

As a result, many teams and drivers have gone without a win for a long period of time. During a recent online gaming session playing EA FC with friends, Verstappen heard the British national anthem. Seizing the opportunity, he took a subtle dig at British drivers in F1.

It’s been a while since I heard that one!

Currently, there are three British drivers competing in F1, namely ,, and. Russell is the most recent winner, having triumphed at the 2022 Brazilian GP. On the other hand, Hamilton hasn’t tasted victory since 2021.
