My motivation is my passion, my enthusiasm for the sport and, of course, the strong bond with Max Verstappen and the Verstappens in general. It was clear to me that if I stayed, I would not be hindered or limited in any way, so I can always do what is best for Max.

Verstappen in recent times, has been linked with a potential 2026 move to either Aston Martin or the Toto Wolff-led Mercedes. Both parties are very interested in bringing him on board.
Keeping this in view, if Red Bull is not able to show Verstappen that they can come up with a competent car for 2026, then he might make the jump to a rival team. His current contract runs until the end of 2028 but it has an exit clause in it.
