A new Formula 1 season is now firmly underway, and not for the first time, the future of Max Verstappen is one of the major topics of conversation.

Not least because of Verstappen's criticism of the new regulations, and the indication from the four-time F1 champion that he may not continue in F1 beyond this season.

And then, of course, there are always options on the table should he decide to stay, but not necessarily continue with Red Bull.

Over time, there has been constant speculation linking him with a move to Mercedes. Aston Martin has been mentioned, given his strong relationship with Adrian Newey, and now McLaren is a possibility due to race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase joining the team for the 2028 season.

Former F1 driver David Coulthard, however, has thrown Ferrari into the mix, suggesting it would be "a more comfortable fit" for Verstappen as he would have "the freedom" to be himself.

Such remarks have lent themselves to the latest RacingNews365 poll, asking you if Verstappen did leave Red Bull to move to another team, which one would you like to see him driving for.
