Red Bull pull out threats no worry to Verstappen

If Red Bull does quit, the sport stands to lose four cars from the grid including exciting names like Daniel Ricciardo and the teen sensation Max Verstappen..

The latter Dutchman, however, is now regarded as perhaps the hottest property in F1, and so if he is without a drive, other teams will presumably try to snap him up.

Max's father Jos told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "Max will be in Formula one next season. 100 per cent."
