Verstappen going nowhere - but what about 2027?

With Max Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing release clause now unable to be triggered, we discuss the implications on the driver market in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw in Budapest to ask if this means the Verstappen to Mercedes talk can be put to bed for now, or if the focus now shifts to 2027. 

We also discuss the impact on Mercedes, with George Russell’s continued stay at the team now seemingly assured and Kimi Antonelli having a difficult time in recent races. 

The Hungarian Grand Prix is also previewed before we tackle listener questions on topics ranging from Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto to Lewis Hamilton and Pirelli tyres.
