Verstappen will continue with Red Bull Racing until the end of the 2030 Formula One season

Max Verstappen has signed a new contract extension with Red Bull Racing until the end of the 2030 Formula One season, ending speculation about his future in the sport. The 28-year-old Dutch driver, who has won all four of his world championship titles with Red Bull, previously had a contract until the end of 2028 but with break clauses that could have allowed him to leave if the team failed to meet his expectations.

Verstappen, who is currently sixth in the drivers' standings, 110 points behind Mercedes' Kimi Antolin, is expected to remain with the team in the new deal. Red Bull currently sit in fourth place overall, with Verstappen ahead of his home grand prix at Zandvoort this weekend. The Dutch driver expressed his pleasure with the contract extension, praising the team's performance and praising team boss Laurent Mekies.

Red Bull Racing is set to compete with their own power unit for the first time this season, in partnership with Ford, and the team is focused on winning more races, achieving more milestones, and continuing to write history in motorsport.
