Max Verstappen can now activate the exit clause in his Red Bull contract for 2027. GPblog reports the clause allows him to leave if he is not inside the championship top two at the summer break. George Russell sits second with a 75 point lead over Verstappen and two Grands Prix remaining before the break, so the gap can no longer be closed. Contractually Verstappen only has to tell Red Bull his decision in October. Details reported by GPblog, relayed via @TearOffFR and translated from French. Does a clause like this protect a driver, or hold a team hostage every summer? 📸📰 via GPblog #F1 #Verstappen #RedBull #BritishGP
