On Thursday, Christian Horner commented in Jeddah on rumors about Max Verstappen’s possible switch to Mercedes. The head of Red Bull Racing confirmed that he held negotiations with representatives of the three-time world champion after the Bahrain Grand Prix and considers the matter of Max’s team change to be settled.
“I have every confidence that Max will drive for us because he has a great team around him,” said Christian Horner at the FIA press conference. – Max has great confidence in this team. We have achieved a lot together and he is committed to a contract that runs until 2028.
Of course I am aware of all comments. We had a discussion after the race and now everyone is focused on the future. The team aims to defend the individual and team titles we have fought so hard for.
Max has won 55 races with us, the team has 114 wins and in this respect we are equal to Williams. Both the team and Max are determined to build on the success. He achieved all his victories and podiums behind the wheel of Red Bull Racing cars, and I hope that even more success awaits us in the future.
Like I said, there was a discussion after the race in Bahrain, and now we’re all looking ahead.”
