Stefano Domenicali predicts Max Verstappen will remain in Formula 1 despite growing speculation over his future – Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali believes Max Verstappen has no intention of walking away from the sport despite months of speculation surrounding his future. Speaking to Formula1.com, the Formula 1 CEO praised the Red Bull driver and highlighted the strong relationship they have developed over the years. However, the current campaign has been significantly more challenging than the dominant years Red Bull previously enjoyed. Sitting sixth in the drivers’ championship is a position far below the standards Verstappen and Red Bull have set over the past several seasons. “I mean, of course I could quit at any time, that wouldn’t be a problem, but I love racing,” Verstappen said in Budapest.
