Max Verstappen's long-term future at Red Bull is now in fresh doubt, a new report has claimed. Verstappen has spent his entire career under the Red Bull umbrella, firstly debuting with Toro Rosso in 2015. After a promising first season, he was parachuted into the second Red Bull seat in the early stages of 2016 after Daniil Kvyat was dropped.

Formula One stars are ramping up their preparations for the Canadian Grand Prix after a one-week break following the chaos in Barcelona. Max Verstappen is on the brink of a ban after collecting his 11th penalty point for ramming into George Russell late on in that race.

The latest phase of Red Bull's plan is clicking into gear over the long-term replacement for world champion Max Verstappen.
