A brainteaser for this Friday night: Max still has no engine for 2016 thanks to the ever-ongoing motorcrisis at Red Bull and Toro Rosso, while the empty chairs at other teams also gradually be occupied. To sit there and hope for the best or switch, that’s the question.

Today was a tumultuous day on the motorcrisis at Red Bull and Toro Rosso. It started early this morning with the rumor that Max, and with him Red Bull and Toro Rosso, next year with a Ferrari engine would drive it. Later this was toned down to “Ferrari wants, Toro Rosso, however, and Red Bull no engines deliver”. Then we heard two hours later, in the corridors that there will be far-reaching discussions between Renault and Red Bull, and then by sources within the manufacturer to Motorsport.com was dismissed as “highly unlikely“. The only thing still clear is that Red Bull and Toro Rosso for a huge challenge.

At the same Motorsport showed our Max know not to be afraid next year, not in Formula 1 to drive. Now is our national hero, a cool frog, but we squeeze him, to be honest, a little. But because we -as Max next year, no motor-has – suddenly a lot less to write about.

All joking aside, if someone in this year for the revival of F1 in the Netherlands and other countries has done, then it is the Max Verstappen. Season 2016 without Max Verstappen would also in many ways a huge disappointment. Therefore, this difficult question: should Max his team Toro Rosso and Red Bull, to whom he owe so much to, remain faithful and hope for a good outcome, or can he at this time better eggs for his money, to choose and to switch to another team before all the chairs are forgiven?
