Formula 1 2026: Max Verstappen Red Bull contract extension, new deal until 2030, F1 future, four-time world champion, latest news

Max Verstappen has put an end to speculation about his Formula 1 future by signing a new Red Bull deal extending through the end of the 2030 season. The four-time world champion’s extension preserves one of F1’s most successful modern partnerships and keeps him with the team he joined in 2016, after racing in Red Bull’s junior program starting in 2014. Verstappen, who famously won the Spanish Grand Prix on his Red Bull debut, has since won four drivers’ championships and 71 Grands Prix with Red Bull, while helping the team secure two constructors’ titles. In his comments, he said the goal remains returning to the top and “fighting for more victories” and championships.
