Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has reiterated that Max Verstappen will continue to drive💙 for the꧒ squad in Formula 1 next year.

Horner revealed that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen told the senior management at Red Bull that he is committed to honouring their contract, despite rumours that the squad’s competitive struggles could tempt him to join a rival F1 team.

The Briton said he doesn’t understand why there is so much speculation about the the four-time world champion's future, when Red Bull has tied him down with a dಞeal u🌸ntil the end of the 2028 season.

“Max is a hౠuge part of our team and he is very much enme🍌shed in everything that we are doing, development-wise,’ Horner told the .

“There is an awful lot of noise externally, sometimes we wonder where that comes from becausౠe there is not the same ꧃noise internally.

“Max has got his head down, he is fully committed, he has voiced that commitment to the team, to all the leadership within the team and everybody is just focused on improving the car and competing for the world c🍬hampionship. 

"So whওere the h🍰eadlines come from is sometimes difficult to understand.”

Speculation linking Verstappen to an exit from Red Bull first surfaced last year, when an investigation into Horner for alleged inappropriate beha🍸viour threatened to tear the team apart.

More recently, Red Bull’s declining form has been the lead cause of those rumours, with Verstappen widely understood to have a performance clause in his contract t🦹hat could allow him to leave the team as early as next year.

The loss of key technical personnel, including design guru Adrian Newey to the rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin team, is also believed to be causing unease withi🐼n the Verstappen caꦛmp.

Asked if the Dutch😼man will be driving for Red Bull next year, Horner responded: "Yeah, he has got a contract until 2028.

“Of course, if we can't deliver him a competitive car, then inevitably you raise que♔stions about that but he is absolutely committed.

“This team has provided him with a car that won 64 grands prix so far,♉ four world championships. 

“He enjoys working with the people, he has a great relationship with the t✃♊eam, with the engineering staff and we are all in it together at the end of the day.

“As a tea♈m, you win together, you lose together and you stick together.”
