Max Verstappen signs MEGA DEAL with Red Bull until 2030

Well, as you said, he extended his contract with Red Bull Racing.

Was it a long time coming? I'm not sure.

I think there has been rumors.

Was it only rumors? There was plenty of

chatter.

There was a lot of chatter about the situation at Red Bull and if he was going to stay or not because he has all these kinds of clauses.

But we can say he's going to stay at Red Bull Racing at least until the end of 2030.

What is that an extension of? Is that two

years? That's two years, yeah.

He originally had a contract until the end of 28.

They signed that contract back in 22, out of my head, after his first world title.

And now he's going to extend until the end of 2030.

But honestly, I think there's still some sort of clause in his contract.

There's an

out if he wants it.

Yeah, I think so.

Now, Laurent Mekies had a huge weight on his shoulders.

That's got to be lifted.

I think he did a phenomenal job to pull this out of the bag.

Honestly, we have to give the credits to Laurent Mackies as well here.

Yeah, he pushed hard.

Now, what were Max's real other options? Mercedes and McLaren?

Mercedes was definitely on the table last year.

I think...

There's not a single driver on the grid that earns the amount of money that Max does.
