Max Verstappen decided in pre-season to extend his contract at Red Bull Racing until 2028. While this caused many enthusiastic reactions, it was only logical for the Dutchman to stay longer with the Austrian racing stable.
Verstappen came to drive for Red Bull in the 2016 season and has been developing at lightning speed ever since. Although for seasons he did not have the car to compete with Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, last season he succeeded. It immediately brought him the world title.
Verstappen has positive words for Red Bull
The world title only gave Red Bull more reasons to sit down with Verstappen and try to tie him to the team for longer. Both parties had the intention to continue with each other for a longer period of time, so it was only a matter of time until an agreement was reached.
"We get along very well," the driver told Verstappen.com. "It feels very good, natural and familiar. We also always had the belief in each other that we could become world champions. We have achieved that together now, of course, and I therefore see no reason to want to be with another team."

Max could finish first in an AMG with his eyes closed.
Well...hes chance to show up MB is here...this weekend.....let's see him win with both eyes open
Vege calling the kettle black again.
How much Monster does she drink in support of her Mercedes idols?
LOL.
I have always said the Redbull and Max are the perfect match. He would not be able to function in another team, and Redbull has structured the team around Max. So Max rightly so has committed his career to Redbull.
On the flipside how much Redbull can you drink mate, at some point you gonna have some kidney stones with all that acid and sugar diabetes if you're not careful. You know what they say about too much of a good thing .
Hahaha good one but there’s sugar free Red Bull also, and he’s young that Red Bull drinking will backfire in his late 40s haha.
Max doesn't want a easy team like Mercedes that you just steer around the track relying on the motor to win....He likes racing.......And that's Red Bull...
Then Mic and KM are legends mate ,they are true racers.
Max in 2016 jump into the Red-Bull for the first time ever and won!!!!!.....You make me laugh!!!....
Max was already way ahead of Ricciardo when his tyre gave up with 1 lap to go and he took a new tyre and stayed in the same position.
I still don't understand you keep on saying "allowed to win". Did anyone just tell Max, "please pass me, you can win this race". No, he won on his own doing, fact. That Lewis and Rosberg crashed eachother, sure, but fact is, Max won his first race and beat everyone else.
I can also do many if's for every Lewis victory, doesn't make sense right? Point was that Max won his maiden RB race, and that is just a plain and simple fact.
And you make a very bold comment about me not being an F1 fan in 2016 without knowing me and without any proof. I don't know how long you have been watching, but don't start talking about me because you have totally no idea. It is much longer than you think. Let me give you a small hint, I saw Senna's crash live on tv and I was watching for years already before that.
Max was allowed to win, if Lewis and Ross didn't crash, it Daniel Ric wasn't fitted with a deflating tyre, if Vettel hadn't gone for 3 stop, lol Max was allowed to win ,you weren't an F1 fan back then mate so I don't expect you to have watched the race .

Ps. I won't be responding to you next comment , as I don't want snide remark or escalation like you have been prone to previously. Get my drift jeroentje
True that Lewis and Rosberg crashed, but still the fact remains he won his first race in the RB. And "allowed to win"? By whom? He beat Ricciardo, he beat the Ferrari's, and the MB as well did not allow him to win, they crashed themselves.
How many races has Lewis won because he had best car, how many has max won in a slower car, facts
Aah facts Lewis and Ross crashed out, Max got lucky and was allowed to win,facts matter mate. Wasn't a miracle skillful win, was a lucky one . How many races passes till his next win ?
lol, "allowed to", by whom exactly? He won, fact.
Lol Max won cause he was allowed to, nothing to do with anything else, lucky win, like his lucky WC, nothing on merit, enjoy
Those days 3rd was 1st because of the 2 Rockets.....And Max came 1st so get your facts right mate ....
He still won mate, that says something
Cause Lewis and Roseburg crashed out , get the facts right mate .
Sounds like hes heading to Haas ..... or alpha tauri in the future to win the championship in a slower car.....and prove some forum posters right
Probably the same reason you have such a sore throat and arse. Way too many dicks.
