Max Verstappen Signs Red Bull Contract Extension Through 2030

The four-time world champion stays with Red Bull through 2030 after talks with rival teams and performance clauses fueled exit speculation.

  • On Thursday, four-time world champion Max Verstappen signed a contract extension with Oracle Red Bull Racing, committing to the team until at least 2030 ahead of this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix.
  • This two-year extension adds to his previous deal, which was set to expire in 2028, effectively ending speculation about his future after Verstappen expressed dissatisfaction with current race car regulations earlier this year.
  • "I am really pleased with the contract extension," Verstappen said, noting the team is like a "second family." Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies added he was "immensely proud" to confirm the commitment.
  • Since his debut at the Spanish Grand Prix, Verstappen has secured 70 Grand Prix wins and four World Championships with the Milton Keynes-based team, establishing a partnership Mekies described as one of Formula One's greatest success stories.
  • Looking ahead to the next decade, Verstappen aims to continue fighting for victories and championships, with Mekies emphasizing that the team's ambition remains unchanged as they work to shape the organization's future.
