Formula 1 is at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend, a fan and driver favorite, for the Belgian Grand Prix. We’re in the midst of a great title battle between Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and George Russell and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.

However, much of the focus this weekend is on Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. It’s been a tough season for the four-time champ, who currently sits down in P7 in the standings, and that’s because the rumor mill has been churning about his future with the team.

Verstappen has not committed to Red Bull for next season and was recently linked with a potential move to McLaren. On top of that, he himself has even floated the idea of stepping away from F1. He hasn’t been a fan of the direction the series has taken with its current cars, and has recently done more sports car racing.

So, he was asked about all of this on Thursday during his driver press conference, and the Dutchman gave some answers that were both blunt and cryptic.

“Is there any update you can give us?” a reporter asked.

“No,” Verstappen said.

Verstappen was then asked about what he makes of all of the speculation about his future, to which he replied, “Nothing.”

He was then asked whether he had a date in mind for providing an update on his plans.

“No, there’s nothing to say from my side,” he said.

“So, full commitment to Red Bull in 2027?” the reporter asked.

“I said there’s nothing to say,” Verstappen reiterated.

Now, Verstappen is known for handling press conferences like this, but, man, is that not going to keep the rumor mill from churning?

It is worth noting that while Red Bull’s struggles have been well documented this season, Verstappen has said he has a good relationship with team boss Laurent Mekies, who took over partway through last season.

“It’s been really good. I get on very well with Laurent. We speak a lot on track, but also off track,” he said, per the Associated Press. “I think the relationship that he has also within the team is great.

“Everything for me feels very positive, and I think it’s always nice when you can discuss a lot of things with your team boss. So from that sense, yeah, very happy. It’s all very open and transparent.”
