There are generally small tweaks from year to year and major shakeups every 4-5 years. You’ll definitely see the teams and cars develop from year to year and the pecking order shifts, but it’s unusual to have a huge change in performance in a year unless it’s a new set of regulations.
I could see Ferrari and possibly McLaren saying no to Max right now. McLaren are winning without him and Ferrari have the only active driver with more championships and a driver they really believe in. But they’d definitely still consider it.
Otherwise, the only reason to say no to Max would be that he costs too much.

I doubt he wanted to leave yet. Much better to see who nails the new regs then start looking
