## Resource

Max Verstappen’s contract includes a wild clause: if he’s not in the top two by the 2027 summer break, he’s free to go — and while that’s unlikely, the freedom’s real. Red Bull’s big Austrian update turned heads, with Verstappen delivering his best race yet, even challenging Mercedes’ George Russell. The secret? A breakthrough in underfloor airflow that lets them run steeper angles — a key battle under current rules. Teams are racing to direct air into diffusers for more downforce, and Red Bull’s now on par with Mercedes and Ferrari. This could be the start of something huge.
