Belgium Formula One champion Max Verstappen ends speculation about his immediate future ahead of Hungary GP.<\/p>\n

Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen says he is staying with the Red Bull team for next year, ending months of speculation over his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s always been quite clear, and also for next year,\u201d the four-time champion said Thursday ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m discussing with the team already the plans \u2014 the things that we want to change for next year, so that means that I\u2019m also staying with the team for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull through 2028. At recent motorsport races, he had deflected direct questions<\/a> about whether he\u2019d stay with the team next year, and there had been indications that a performance-related clause could allow him to exit the contract earlier. The exact details of any clause are not public.<\/p>\n

Mercedes driver George Russell had said he believed his team was holding talks with Verstappen.<\/p>\n

Verstappen\u2019s comments come less than a month after Christian Horner was removed from his role<\/a> as Red Bull team principal after 20 years and replaced by Laurent Mekies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Belgium Formula One champion Max Verstappen ends speculation about his immediate future ahead of Hungary GP.
