From what I understand he doesn't have an exit clause on Newey leaving, but if he wants to go he can go, not like he doesn't have enough money.
I don't really see Max going to another team though, more likely another racing series. Wouldn't put it past him to get bored and come back though!
Hmmm interesting. I don't know the exact wording of the clause obviously. But from what I understood if there were changes in key personnel responsible for the performance of the team and car, he would be free to break the contract early. I would think someone like Newey would count for that.
I think for anybody in F1 that's all they want and only leave to another series if no seat is available. And even then they might sit out a year whilst lobbying for a seat. So I would expect Verstappen to go to another team before ever leaving.
Verstappen is young enough that he doesn't have the Ferrari dream, many people before them driving for Ferrari in F1 was seen as the ultimate goal. But for the younger generation who have seen mostly the bad years for Ferrari, this isn't a dream as much anymore.
