<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/auto/formula-one" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Formula 1</a> is at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend, a fan and driver favorite, for the Belgian Grand Prix. We’re in the midst of a great title battle between Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and George Russell and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton.</p><p>However, much of the focus this weekend is on Red Bull's <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/red-bulls-max-verstappen-suffers-big-crash-controversial-austrian-grand-prix-qualifying" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Max Verstappen.</a> It's been a tough season for the four-time champ, who currently sits down in P7 in the standings, and that's because the rumor mill has been churning about his future with the team.</p><p>Verstappen has not committed to Red Bull for next season and was recently linked with a potential move to McLaren. On top of that, he himself has even floated the idea of stepping away from F1. He hasn't been a fan of the direction the series has taken with its current cars, and has recently done more sports car racing.</p><p>So, he was asked about all of this on Thursday during his driver press conference, and the Dutchman gave some answers that were both blunt and cryptic.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE</strong></a></p><p>"Is there any update you can give us?" a reporter asked.</p><p>"No," Verstappen said.</p><p>Verstappen was then asked about what he makes of all of the speculation about his future, to which he replied, "Nothing."</p><p><a href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ZERO BS.

I get on very well with Laurent. We speak a lot on track, but also off track," he said, per the Associated Press. "I think the relationship that he has also within the team is great.</p><p>"Everything for me feels very positive, and I think it’s always nice when you can discuss a lot of things with your team boss. So from that sense, yeah, very happy. It’s all very open and transparent."</p>
