Max Verstappen snatched the torch from Lewis Hamilton and became one of the most unstoppable Formula 1 drivers<\/a> in the sport from 2021 to 2024.<\/p>\n

The 2025 and 2026 seasons have been a struggle for the Red Bull racer. He finished second to McLaren\u2019s Lando Norris in the drivers\u2019 standings last season, ending his streak of world championships, and has yet to finish in the top five this year.<\/p>\n

After finishing eighth in the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen suggested he was contemplating retirement at the age of 28.<\/p>\n

“Privately I\u2019m very happy,” Verstappen told the BBC. “You also wait for 24 races. This time it\u2019s 22. But normally 24. And then you just think about is it worth it? Or do I enjoy being more at home with my family? Seeing my friends more when you\u2019re not enjoying your sport?”<\/p>\n

He made clear he was suggesting that 2026 could be his final season.<\/p>\n

“I want to be here to have fun and have a great time and enjoy myself. At the moment that\u2019s not really the case,” he said. “Of course I do enjoy certain aspects. I enjoy working with my team. It\u2019s like a second family. But once I sit in the car it\u2019s not the most enjoyable unfortunately. I\u2019m trying. I keep telling myself every day to try and enjoy it. It\u2019s just very hard.”<\/p>\n

Part of the struggles for Verstappen has been trying to get acclimated to the regulation changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I can easily accept to be in P7 or P8 where I am,” he said. “Because I also know that you can\u2019t be dominating or be first or second or whatever, fighting for a podium every time. I\u2019m very realistic in that and I\u2019ve been there before. I\u2019ve not only been winning in F1.<\/p>\n

“But at the same time when you are in P7 or P8 and you are not enjoying the whole formula behind it, it doesn\u2019t feel natural to a racing driver,” he continued. “Of course I try to adapt to it, but it\u2019s not nice the way you have to race. It\u2019s really anti-driving. Then at one point, yeah, it\u2019s just not what I want to do.”<\/p>\n

Maybe a break in the schedule will help clear Verstappen\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Formula 1 will have a few weeks off as two races that were set for April<\/a> in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were canceled because of military operations in Iran.<\/p>\n

The next race is set for May 3 in Miami.<\/p>\n
