In late 2024, Verstappen did express frustration with Red Bull’s internal conflicts, including a “Red Bull civil war” involving his father, Jos Verstappen, and team principal Christian Horner. This turmoil led to legendary designer Adrian Newey’s departure to Aston Martin and rumors of Verstappen potentially joining Mercedes. However, Verstappen emphasized that his threats to leave Red Bull were genuine and not a bluff.
Despite these challenges, Verstappen clinched his fourth Drivers’ Championship in 2024, and Red Bull finished third in the Constructors’ Championship. Aston Martin, ahead of a significant regulation change in 2026, recently secured top designer Adrian Newey from Red Bull. However, Aston Martin has denied rumors of pursuing a £1 billion deal with Verstappen.
