According to Sky Sports F1’s Jenson Button, Max Verstappen should use his influence within the Red Bull team to persuade legendary designer Adrian Newey to reconsider his plans to leave. With Newey’s potential exit causing ripples throughout Formula 1, Button believes Verstappen, who has won three successive drivers’ titles in Newey-designed cars, has the power to keep the key figure in place. Despite speculation surrounding Verstappen’s own future amidst links to Mercedes, Button anticipates the Dutch driver will remain with Red Bull, where he currently holds a dominant position.
