Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen has revealed that he misses his personal life due to his commitments in Formula One, addressing the topic of his potential retirement. The four-time world champion and his partner, Kelly Piquet, welcomed their first child together in May 2025.

Max Verstappen has addressed reports that he held a secret meeting with Mercedes chief Toto Wolff during a holiday to Sardinia. Boats belonging to the two men were reportedly spotted together at the Italian island.

With a move to Mercedes now seemingly on the back burner, Verstappen spoke about when he plans to retire. The Dutchman admitted last year to SPORTbible that he had achieved everything he wanted to in F1 and stated his intentions to try other forms of racing.
