Max Verstappen has put pen to paper on a new Red Bull deal, bringing to an end a considerable period of uncertainty for the Dutchman and the Milton Keynes-based team.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It comes after significant speculation that the 28-year-old might seek out pastures new, with McLaren emerging as the favourite alternative destination for the 71-time grand prix winner’s signature, with the long-standing interest from Mercedes slowly waining.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The four-time world champion has signed a new deal which lasts until the end of the 2030 season, keeping him in the sport for the first campaign of the next regulatory set.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
As a result, Verstappen will remain in F1 throughout the current new power unit regulations, which he has been highly critical of so far this season.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen’s previous deal expired at the end of 2028 with an option to leave the Austrian marque this year, although that will now no longer happen.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
His commitment to Red Bull brings to an end a significant point in this year’s silly season, as it means a decorated seat at the outfit is not available.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
