Max Verstappen extends Red Bull contract through 2030

A four‑time Formula 1 World Drivers’ Champion has signed a new contract with his current team, effectively ending speculation that he would depart at the conclusion of the 2028 season. The agreement, announced by the team’s management on Monday, extends the champion’s tenure for an additional multi‑year period, though the exact duration has not been disclosed.

The signing follows months of media reports suggesting the driver might seek a change after his existing deal expires.

With the contract now secured, both the driver and the outfit can focus on development and performance targets for the upcoming seasons, putting the earlier exit rumours to rest.
