Four-time world champion Max Verstappen confirmed during press conferences ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix that he will remain with the Red Bull team next season.
Verstappen’s comments ended speculation that the 27-year-old driver could move to another team.
“The thing is, people are waffling so much throughout the whole season while the only one that actually can or should speak is not speaking,” Verstappen said. “That’s me, and I do that on purpose because it makes no sense to start throwing things around and actually that should be the same for everyone.
“Some people just like to stir the pot, some people just like to create drama but for me it’s always been quite clear and also for next year.
“I’m discussing with the team already the plans, the things that we want to change next year so that means I’m also staying with the team for next year.”
Verstappen is third in the standings with a sole victory this season.
