Verstappen and Norris on course to take F1 longevity to new heights

Max Verstappen looks set to etch his name in Formula 1 history if he completes his new Red Bull deal through 2030, potentially becoming the driver with the most seasons at a single team. Lando Norris, meanwhile, has committed his long-term future to McLaren, also running to the end of 2030. Both the four-time and reigning world champions have effectively closed the door to any near-term driver-market moves, keeping them with the outfits they represent. Verstappen would reach 15 seasons with Red Bull, surpassing Lewis Hamilton’s 12-year mark with Mercedes, while Norris could match Hamilton at 12 with McLaren and overtake Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari total.
