Verstappen: I'm staying with Red Bull for 2026 F1 season

1 day ago 1

Max Verstappen has confirmed he will remain with Red Bull for the 2026 Formula 1 season, putting an end to uncertainty over the four-time world champion's short-term future.

The Dutchman, who has won four successive drivers' titles, had been heavily linked with Mercedes following a drop-off in Red Bull's performance and amid expectations the Silver Arrows will have a strong package when new regulations are introduced for next season.

Mercedes chief Toto Wolff had admitted over the last month that he was in conversations over trying to sign Verstappen, but maintained throughout that the 27-year-old was more likely to make a switch at some point after the 2026 season.
