Plain text for the future of the Red Bull Boss Mintzlaff
Max Verstappen still has a longer -term contract with Red Bull. But again and again and especially in recent times, speculation is made. Now the Red Bull managing director is expressed.
Company managing director Oliver Mintzlaff (49) is firmly based on Max Verstappen at Red Bull. “I am convinced that he will continue to contest the long way he went with Red Bull. Max will also drive for us in 2026,” said Mintzlaff in an interview of the “Bild”.
He was not afraid that the Formula 1 title defender could leave the racing team before the end of the contract at the end of 2028. “On the one hand, it was not without reason that he signed until the end of 2028, and on the other hand, he recently positioned himself clearly,” said Mintzlaff.
Verstappen also owes a lot to Red Bull
Recently in Saudi Arabia, Verstappen amused that many people would talk about his future – only he didn’t himself. “Max once told me that he started his career at Red Bull – and would also like to end it there. According to my knowledge, nothing has changed,” emphasized Mintzlaff.
You would have benefited a lot from Verstappen. “But the truth also means that he owes a lot to Red Bull,” said Mintzlaff. Verstappen once belonged to Red Bull’s young program. After the entire 2015 season, the company’s second team, which was still called Toro Rosso at the time, was promoted in the 2016 season.
Since then he has been by Red Bull Racing. So far he celebrated 64 Grand Prix victories. His pole in Dschidda is the 42nd of his career, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 became Verstappen with Red Bull world champion.
Despite the currently difficult to drive and sometimes too weak cars, he can take over the World Cup lead again with a win at the Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia. He has eight points behind Lando Norris, who only starts tenth in the McLaren in the McLaren and five points less than his teammate Oscar Piatri (starting place two). “Of course we are currently experiencing a difficult phase, but I don’t have the feeling that the Max has doubts,” said Mintzlaff.
