2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button believes Max Verstappen is growing increasingly frustrated and "lonely" at Red Bull, predicting that the four-time champion will actively seek to exit the team. He tipped Mercedes as the most likely destination for Verstappen.
Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 Show, Button shared his thoughts on the Dutchman's future at the Milton Keynes outfit. The discussion was framed by host Simon Lazenby, who pointed to the exit clause in Verstappen's contract, which is understood to potentially come into effect at the summer break if he is not in the top two in the drivers' championship.
