Future of Max Nagl uncertain!
Running a team with three drivers at the highest level is not something that can be taken for granted. Not even if that team is Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing with Kimi Raikkönen as owner. Since Gautier Paulin and Max Anstie are still under contract for next year, Max Nagl and the Ice One team would part ways.
Nagl started off very well as a factory Husqvarna rider. In 2015 he even gave the team their first GP victory and the cooperation between team and rider was also exemplary. The current season has been very changeable for the experienced German so far. Max nagl usually fell well below expectations. He scored one series victory in France but did not reach the podium anywhere.

Due to the team's late decision, it could be very difficult for Max to find a good steering wheel. For the rider, the decision by Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing came as a bolt from the blue. To our colleagues from Germany Cross magazine Nagl said: “Of course I have already spoken to other factory teams, but they have already filled all the places for 2018. Actually, there isn't a place available anywhere yet.”
The former MXoN winner had previously indicated that he only wants to ride for a factory team.
