With Which Team Will Verstappen Win His F1 Titles?

Max Verstappen contemplating his new moves in F1 with an eye on the world title
Max Verstappen is in the form of his life. But with which team will his record-breaking Formula 1 career be with?

Will he stay put at Red Bull Racing or jump ship to Mercedes or Ferrari? Red Bull Racing-Honda is exciting, but how soon before they can deliver a championship winning package to Verstappen? Will Verstappen be as patient with Red Bull Racing as they were with him during his find-my-feet days? Could Mercedes use this opportunity to swoop in and sign Verstappen as Lewis Hamilton’s successor? This could be the reason why Mercedes are delaying their seemingly straightforward driver decision for F1 2020.

Yes, lots of questions in this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast as we focus on Max Verstappen and his supposedly long future in Formula 1. We also talk about the Gasly-Albon swap and make a bold prediction of either Grosjean or Hulkenberg not having a seat in 2020. Finally, are Mclaren hunting for the Triple Crown themselves? Tune in!
