Back in 2022, Max Verstappen\u00a0signed a deal\u00a0<\/a>to keep him at Red Bull until 2028, though there are potential options for him to exit before then – with one exit clause for 2026 that could be activated if Verstappen isn’t in the top two in the drivers’ championship before the middle of the year. <\/p>\n

Verstappen’s new 2026 team-mate Isack Hadjar doesn’t have a deal beyond this year. <\/p>\n

Whether Lewis Hamilton remains beyond his second year at Ferrari in 2026 remains to be seen. <\/p>\n
