Will Verstappen take a sabbatical in 2026? "Then he could go anywhere"

Max Verstappen has been very vocal about his future in Formula 1. He has made it very clear that he is not a fan of the new regulations that will imposed during the 2026 season, and he also made it clear that if Helmut Marko were to leave Red Bull Racing after the turmoil the team went through before the Bahrain Grand Prix, then he would do the same. Those rumours seemed to have died down, but former F1 driver Karun Chandhok believes that Verstappen will take a sabbatical during the 2026 season.
