- Max Verstappen Extends Red Bull Contract for Three More Years: “I Have No Intentions to Leave”
Max Verstappen has reaffirmed his commitment to Red Bull Racing by signing a three-year contract extension, solidifying his place as the team’s cornerstone in Formula 1. The announcement, made ahead of the new racing season, comes as no surprise given Verstappen’s dominant performances in recent years.
The Dutch driver, who has clinched three consecutive World Championships with Red Bull, expressed his satisfaction with the team and its vision. “I have no intentions to leave,” Verstappen stated during the announcement. “Red Bull has been my home since I joined Formula 1, and the team’s relentless pursuit of success aligns perfectly with my ambitions. Together, we have achieved so much, and I believe the best is yet to come.”
Verstappen’s partnership with Red Bull began in 2016 when he became the youngest race winner in F1 history at the Spanish Grand Prix. Since then, he has grown into one of the sport’s most dominant drivers, breaking multiple records and helping Red Bull regain its supremacy after years of Mercedes dominance.
The extension ensures that Verstappen will remain with the team until at least 2028, giving Red Bull a stable foundation to build upon as the sport transitions to its next-generation regulations in 2026. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner praised Verstappen’s decision, calling it a testament to the team’s unity and shared goals.
“Max is an exceptional talent and a true champion. This long-term commitment reflects the trust and confidence we have in each other,” Horner said.
With this new deal in place, Verstappen and Red Bull aim to continue their dominance on the track, further cementing their legacy in Formula 1 history. Fans eagerly anticipate how this extended partnership will shape the future of the sport.
