Max Verstappen is reportedly losing approximately $1 million for every Formula 1 race he fails to win, as he has been in a winless streak since June. Despite having a successful start to the 2024 season with seven victories in ten races, he now finds himself struggling, with his championship lead reduced to 59 points. Ralf Schumacher emphasized that Verstappen's financial losses are significant, especially compared to his earnings last year, which totaled around $70 million. Tensions within Red Bull have surfaced, particularly after the departure of key figures like Adrian Newey, raising questions about Verstappen's future with the team. The Dutch champion's current contract runs until 2028, but speculation about a possible move to rival teams has been fueled by recent performance issues. As Verstappen approaches upcoming races, including the US GP, the pressure mounts to regain his competitive edge.
