Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle has dismissed the recent flurry of speculation linking four-time champion Max Verstappen with a switch to McLaren, insisting that such paddock rumours are standard practice within the series.
Despite holding a contract with Red Bull until the end of 2028, Verstappen has been linked with potential moves to McLaren and Mercedes. The Dutchman has also been open about the fact that he may retire if he does not enjoy the new regulations.
