No verstappen announcement of contract extension this week is not a good sign
It's a great sign for Verstappen fans though.

He will obviously want to see what the upgrades deliver before making a decision.
This is my impression as well. He wants a few races with the new package to see how it goes and then re-evaluate.
I think this will be decided by the summer break.
Even Red Bull says that this is their most important package for the year so this will determine their remaining season.
Apparently the package is also huge

According to Corriere della Sera (which in my opinion is not very reliable, but still) Russell has been confirmed for 2027 and will be announced very soon. We all know what this would mean.

Gpblog has said that the report from corrierre della sera is incorrect. I guess we'll see but one source outright saying a specific other source is wrong is not too common

Verstappen confirmed that Red Bull brought new updates this weekend and that they expect concrete steps from it.

This update package also carries great importance for the future.

Looking at the car thread, yeah really a big evo.
Fingers crossed.
My CFD eyes say that doesn't look like a package that will "just" shed 2 tenth (excluding weight reduction) but hopefully a lot more :? :D
