Max Verstappen is reported to be nearing a decision on a possible McLaren switch.

Multiple paddock sources have suggested Max Verstappen and McLaren are in the closing stages of talks over a possible move from Red Bull. The discussions are described as continuing despite Zak Brown appearing to dismiss the rumours.

Verstappen's Red Bull contract runs until the end of 2028, but his Silverstone failure means he can no longer be in the top two of the Drivers' Championship by the summer break. An exit clause is widely linked to that championship position.
