RED BULL have been warned that Max Verstappen's loyalty to the team is not endless.

The Dutchman stuck with Red Bull last year despite strong interest from Mercedes, as his streak of four successive Formula One drivers' titles came to an end.

It is understood a clause in Verstappen's contract, which may allow him to walk away if he is lower than second in the championship by the summer, will become active again later this year.
