Max Verstappen, the four-time Formula 1 champion from the Netherlands, has extended his contract with Red Bull Racing until 2030, according to a Thursday announcement. The Dutch driver's decision comes amid speculation he might seek a move to another team, despite Red Bull's struggles to keep pace with Mercedes this season. Verstappen, 28, expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from Red Bull, describing it as "like a second family."
He highlighted the numerous incredible moments and four world championships they have shared together. Verstappen, who has yet to win a race this season, has not had a winless season since his debut in 2015. His previous contract, which ran until 2028, contained performance-related clauses that could have potentially allowed him to leave earlier.
Red Bull had backed Verstappen's career since his childhood, signing him into F1 at 17 in 2015 when he joined Toro Rosso, then Red Bull's second team. This extension marks Verstappen's commitment to the team he has been with throughout his entire career.
