The three-time world champion told reporters at a news conference ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, about a home race for Red Bull. He has confirmed that he will remain with Red Bull next year, putting an end to Mercedes’ hopes of recruiting him to replace Lewis Hamilton, who is set to join Ferrari.
Upon directly asking if he was staying with Red Bull, he responded with
“Ok, yes,” “And that’s what I have already said. We are working on next year’s car and when you are focused on that it means that you’re also driving for the team.
“Of course, people are talking, but it’s most important that we have a very competitive car for the future. It is very tight on track, but we are working as a team to try and improve. We want to be competitive again next year.”
“I have a long contract with the team,” added Verstappen.
“I’m very happy where I’m at and we’re already focusing on next year with things we can implement on the car. So, I guess that should say enough of where I’m driving next year.” Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull until 2028.
