Max Verstappen signs four-year contract extension with Red Bull to 2030

Max Verstappen has put to rest speculation about his Formula 1 future, signing a four-year contract extension with Red Bull that runs through the end of 2030. Red Bull confirmed the deal ahead of Verstappen’s home Dutch Grand Prix weekend at Zandvoort. The 28-year-old was previously tied to Red Bull until 2028, and his name has been linked to alternatives including McLaren, while earlier this year he questioned his long-term F1 outlook due to his dislike of the new generation of cars. Verstappen also pointed to “second family” ties with the team and called returning to the top the “ultimate goal.”
