Formula One World champion Max Verstappen has signed a five-year contract extension that will keep him at the Red Bull team until the end of 2028.
Speaking about the new five-year-deal, Max said, “I really enjoy being part of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team, so choosing to stay to the 2028 season was an easy decision. I love this Team and last year was simply incredible, our goal since we came together in 2016 was to win the championship and we have done that, so now it’s about keeping the number one on the car long-term.”
