You’ll no doubt have heard, for some time now, that Max Verstappen is dissatisfied in his £50m-a-year role as a Red Bull Formula One driver. The four-time world champion, the sport’s standout driver, was unashamedly grumpy throughout much of last season, despite his title near-miss.

The F1 exit door, that is; not motorsport altogether.
