Max Verstappen signs Red Bull contract through 2030
The four-time Formula One champion has agreed a new deal with Red Bull, ending questions about whether he would leave the team.
Max Verstappen has signed a new contract with Red Bull that will keep him with the Formula One team until the end of 2030, the team said on Thursday. The agreement settles months of talk about his future.
The Dutch driver, a four-time world champion, had been linked with possible moves to Mercedes and McLaren, according to reports in the British press. He had also suggested he might consider stepping away from the sport.
Verstappen said Red Bull felt like a second family, in comments carried by the Guardian. The extension comes as Formula One continues under a new set of regulations introduced this season.
Red Bull did not disclose the financial terms of the deal. Verstappen is one of the sport’s leading drivers and has been with the team throughout his title-winning run.
