Verstappen’s manager Raymond Vermeulen calls on people not to pay attention to rumors that Max may leave the team…
Raymond Vermeulen: “We have not even discussed this subject. We have immediately extended the contract until 2028 and do not consider this decision risky.
You know, at Red Bull you see the drive in everything, whether you come to the base of a racing team or to a drinks factory. There is no politics in this team. They want one thing: to win. And Max realizes this goal. They fit together very well.
It’s clear that Red Bull needs the right tools to win. So they launched their own engine production program. This is a statement to the outside world. “Guys, we’re here to win.” And now they’re creating their own engine. What are we talking about then? When an energy drink brand builds its own engine, I think that’s a statement. For us, this is another indication that we are on the right track.
Max has no reason to change teams. We are not interested in this. It’s a small world, everyone talks to each other, but we have obligations until 2028. Max performs without outside pressure, he feels at ease. And whoever his teammate is, they will first have to beat Max, and this is very difficult.
Max may become the first driver to start and end his career with the same team. This could be a new record.”
