Marko: 'Good chance' Verstappen will stay in 2021
Red Bull has "a good chance" of keeping Max Verstappen on board for 2021, according to Dr Helmut Marko.
Throughout 2019, and even earlier, it has been rumoured that the highly rated Dutchman might be wooed by Mercedes or Ferrari.
But after Verstappen won in Brazil, Marko thinks his chances of re-signing the 22-year-old just got even better.
"There was a dinner in Brazil, and let's put it this way: the mood was very positive," he told the Austrian broadcaster Servus TV.
"At the time, we didn't even know that Honda would continue with us in 2021," Marko added.
"After Abu Dhabi we will sit around a table again, and I think we have a good chance of retaining Max after 2020. It's no secret that we would like to keep him."

Although I'm no insider I think there's a better chance he'll be driving a Mercedes in 2021. Just my guess
Not a bad guess,OK then, but first we need confirmation that MB will continue in F1. If we are guessing, mine is that we will have a boring 2020 and some big surprises for 2021.
One more thing. If you want a tip on VER's future talk to daddy, not Marko. Make no mistake, Jos is making the decisions.
