For a second successive year, a major talking point at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was Max Verstappen's future, and whether it will be with Red Bull.
Verstappen appeared to be on the brink of exiting the team in March last year amid huge instability and in-fighting among Red Bull's leadership and the Dutchman's camp. An extremely rough period passed, and Verstappen went on to win a fourth successive drivers' title, at least temporarily quieting noise around his future in the process.
The speculation has persisted despite Verstappen being officially contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028. That's because his deal contains exit clauses.
