Verstappen's manager on Max's future contract

      Max Verstappen's manager Raymond Vermeulen commented on the rumors about the possible departure of the four-time world champion from Red Bull Racing before the race weekend in Spa. Vermeulen reminded of Max's words that he would like to end his career in Formula 1 with the current team.

      Raymond Vermeulen: "A lot has been written about this topic lately. However, the truth is that Max wants to finish his career at Red Bull. He has a contract until the end of 2028, and he would like to see it through.

      The fact that there is a clause in his contract allowing for an early exit does not mean that we will activate that clause. We could have activated it in recent years, but we did not."

      Commenting on the meeting in Amsterdam with former Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko, Vermeulen was brief: "It was a private meeting, planned quite some time ago. Additionally, Max's sister is getting married."
