Meanwhile, Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull till 2028, but he could remain a part of the team even beyond that “At the end of the contract I’m only 31 years old. Then I still have the option to continue or not. I still won’t be old at the end of the contract period,” he further added.
While the Dutch driver remains a title contender, his number one competitor has changed this season from Lewis Hamilton to Charles Leclerc.
