Max Verstappen has been backed by Formula 1 fans to leave Red Bull at the end of the current season.
It has been speculated many times recently that the four-time F1 champion will leave the Milton Keynes-based outfit, based on its current performance and concerns surrounding its 2026 car.
In a recent RacingNews365 poll, fans also feel Verstappen will depart at the end of this season.
In the poll, 88 per cent of voters are confident the 27-year-old will leave Red Bull during his F1 career, with only 12 per cent backing him to never leave the Austrian outfit.
Of those who believe he will leave, 39.9 per cent think Verstappen will exit Red Bull at the end of this year. Just 13 per cent expect him to honour his contract, which expires at the end of 2028.
