“To have Max signed through to the end of 2028 is a real statement of intent. Verstappen will reportedly be compensated over $53 million USD (£40 million GBP) a year over the five-year extension, a similar sum to Lewis Hamilton‘s current two-year contract deal which runs until the end of 2023. “I really enjoy being part of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team, so choosing to stay to the 2028 season was an easy decision,” wrote Verstappen, “”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.” With the new extension, which will solidify Verstappen’s contract as the longest driver deal ever signed in F1, the 23-year-old Dutchman is poised to compete for the team until he’s 30. After winning the championship last year in dramatic fashion, Verstappen has been vocal about wanting to drive for Red Bull for the rest of his career.
