Max Versaben says he still wants to achieve “amazing” work in spending his career at the entire Formula 1 with Red Paul, despite the speculation linking the world champion to move to Mercedes.
The Dutch future dominated the accumulation of the British Grand Prix race this week after Mercedes -Russell’s driver said last week in Austria that the extension of his own contract is kept by Silver Siham’s pursuit of Versaben.
Then Mercedes Toto Wolf coach confirmed that he was in “talks” to try to sign Versabpen, who is associated with Red Bull until 2028, but it is understood that he had conditions in his contract that could enable him to leave the Milton Keynes team earlier.
On Thursday, he was asked in Silverston if he could imagine driving for another team from F1, Verstapen said: “I will say no, because if I say yes, people will count the headlines again, and this is not what I want.
“I always told the team that it will be perfect, and I think they are thinking in the same way, to end my career in Formula 1 with one team.
“I think this will be a great thing, and that’s what we are still trying to achieve.”
“It is difficult to chase to be in the fastest car”
VersApet won four consecutive drivers with Red Bull, but his great plan appears to be scheduled to end this year with McLaren’s control as the season approaches the middle of the road.
Oscar Piasstri is leading his teammate Lando Norris by 15 points at the top of the ranking, with Verstapen 61 points from Australian in third place.
In addition to the relative lack of Red Bull performance this season, there was also speculation that the team was behind the likes of Mercedes in developing a new engine for 2026, when the various regulations are radically presented for this sport.
Request before Sky SPORTS F1 Whether it is happy and satisfied with Red Bull, Verstapen said: “I think this is a story in life because you can always see the grass always is more green on the other side, that’s what they say, right?
“I think you always have to remain calm and also enjoy what you are doing, because I am thinking yet, I have achieved a lot of success. This season may not be what we want as one team, but it can also happen. Sometimes, you just have to try to accept it too.
“Of course, other people create more stories, but this is not for me. I know what I have, and I know what I can do, and that’s good.”
Regarding the topic of whether he owes himself to try to be in the fastest car on the network, Verstapen added: “This is difficult in Formula 1 in any case trying to be in the fastest car, because then you have to look at the future. Who knew that two years ago this will be the case now?
“This is also something I don’t spend much of focusing on it. I think the only focus I have at the moment is just trying to improve the situation.
“We are not where we want to be, I think this is completely clear, but at the same time, a lot can change next year again. So even if you try to chase the fastest car now, it may not be the fastest car next year.
“This is exactly what is about F1. Sometimes you are luck, winning three six to seven eight titles, who knows? This is also part of the game.”
