Max Verstappen has again refused to commit to staying at Red Bull beyond this season, as speculation regarding the four-time world champion's future continues to mount.

Verstappen and Red Bull have struggled to adapt to Formula One's sweeping regulation changes this year, with the Dutchman sitting seventh in the driver's championship.

He only has two podium finishes to his name this year, placing second in Austria and third in Canada, with 103 points separating him from championship frontrunner Kimi Antonelli.

Verstappen crashed out of the British Grand Prix last time out, with his latest failure to finish coming amid rumours that he could join McLaren for 2027.

Mercedes were tipped to make a move for Verstappen earlier this year, but with the Silver Arrows' team principal Toto Wolff seemingly committed to extending George Russell's contract, McLaren are now viewed as his most likely landing spot.

There have been suggestions that McLaren could pursue a swap deal involving Oscar Piastri and Verstappen, who is reportedly able to talk to other teams if he is not second or higher in the drivers' standings by the upcoming summer break.

But, when quizzed on his Red Bull future ahead of this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, the 28-year-old remarked: "There's nothing to say."

Asked if there was a deadline for a decision to be made on any potential move, Verstappen added: "No. There is nothing to say. 

"I don't want to go there... To say yes and no, or this and that, about my future. I have said already many times that if there was something new, I would say it myself."

Verstappen has retired three times in 2026, in China, Monaco and at Silverstone two weeks ago – one more retirement than he had in his previous three F1 seasons combined. 

After failing to finish in Great Britain, the Dutchman could retire from two consecutive races for the first time since 2020, when he did so at the Tuscan and Italian Grands Prix.

After this Sunday's race at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the Hungarian Grand Prix rounds out the first half of the F1 season, with a four-week break to follow before the Dutch Grand Prix on August 23.
