Is Max Verstappen’s Red Bull contract renewal all that surprising? Our writers have their say
A show of faith in Laurent Mekies or his only real option – our writers share their verdict on the Dutchman's F1 contract renewal
Max Verstappen has reaffirmed his commitment to Red Bull Racing for an additional three seasons, extending his contract until the end of F1's current era in 2030. This news quells rumors of a potential move to Mercedes or McLaren. Laurent Mekies, Red Bull's team principal, sees this as a significant step towards the future success of the team.
The new deal is likely to include performance clauses that favor Red Bull. Some speculate that the extension may also benefit Verstappen's involvement in extra-curricular racing, such as his partnership with Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing in the GT3 EVO category.
