Jit is official: Max Verstappen renewed with the Red Bull until 2030, extending for two years a bond that was already going by the end of 2028. So put an end to the rumors that they could see a possible way out. The announcement appeared on the eve of the Dutch GP, home round of the world's top champion.

In a statement, Max Verstappen commented: “We have the best people and I’m excited to continue working with everyone to get back to the top. This remains the ultimate goal for which we have all been working and which we will continue to pursue. [...]. I've always said that the team is like a second family to me and I feel very at home. I came to the team hoping I could win races. What we achieved together was simply lovely and we shared many incredible moments and won four Worlds. Continue this journey with the same team I've been on my entire career it's really special and something i always wanted to do. [...]. Everyone in Milton Keynes believes what we are building and I look forward to the next chapter, fighting for more victories and titles.”.
