Max Verstappen confirmed that he will stay at Red Bull.

      Max Verstappen confirmed that he will continue racing for Red Bull Racing in 2026. The current world champion announced this on Thursday during a press conference in Hungary, putting an end to rumors about his future.

      Max Verstappen: "Throughout the season, people kept discussing various things, but the only one who could or should have spoken was silent. That was me. And I stayed silent intentionally because I saw no point in engaging in discussions.

      Some just love to stir the pot, others to fan the flames. But for me, everything was absolutely clear, including regarding next year. I am already discussing plans with the team and what we want to change in 2026. This means I will stay with the team next year.

      I decided it was time to put an end to all the rumors because it was always completely clear to me that I am staying anyway."

      When asked if he expects a new wave of rumors about leaving Red Bull Racing and increased media attention in a year, Max said: "I don’t know, but if you ask me that next year, then there will be rumors.

      I never discuss this topic because I am more interested in working on improving the car's speed and similar things. That’s why I never talk about what exactly is written in my contract."
