Fernando Alonso is 42 years old, but he is still fast and stable. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko thinks that Max Verstappen will not last much longer in Formula 1.
Helmut Marko: “I think Max is not someone who is ready to perform like Fernando at the age of 40. One day he will just say, “Enough is enough,” lose interest, or stop enjoying racing.
In fact, his schedule is pretty busy right now. Before each Grand Prix, he spends a day in the simulator, participates in promotional activities, although we try to give him more free time.
Will it continue after 2028? It depends on how the sport develops. If he feels a loss of motivation, he can hang the helmet on a nail. I can well imagine.
I don’t think Max will be able to repeat the performance of Schumacher and Hamilton, who have won seven league titles. Anyway, I won’t insist. There must be inspiration, there must be passion. He can leave early.”
