Verstappen to McLaren? The Rumours Won't Die | 2026 Belgian GP Preview
Episode 412
Tuesday, 14 July, 2026

The Verstappen-to-McLaren rumours refuse to die down and this week they got louder. Plus: F1 could run 10 sprint weekends in 2027, Aston Martin's big upgrade is delayed to Hungary, and we preview a brutal Belgian Grand Prix at Spa. In this episode: Mark Weber's denial that Oscar Piastri is being replaced, why Red Bull's talent exodus makes a Verstappen exit feel more plausible (all speculation at this stage, nothing confirmed), what a McLaren hypercar detour could look like for Max, Stefano Domenicali's push for more 2027 sprints, Aston Martin's delayed upgrade, our Belgian GP storylines and predictions, and a mailbag question on the Middle East calendar situation. 🏁 Predictions: https://backofthegrid.com get yours in before qualifying! 🏆 Fantasy & Grid Rival https://backofthegrid.com/fantasy 💬 Join the conversation: https://patreon.com/backofthegrid 📱 @BackOfTheGridF1 on X, Instagram and Facebook #F1 #BelgianGP #MaxVerstappen
