Red Bull: Big money offer won’t tempt Verstappen to break contract
In 2022, Verstappen signed a long-term contract with Red Bull following his first championship victory in the previous year. He has been with the Red Bull family since his debut in F1 in 2015 with Toro Rosso, moving to Red Bull in 2016. Speculation arose about a potential move to Mercedes in 2025 due to Hamilton’s departure, but Red Bull’s Marko remains unconcerned about Verstappen’s loyalty. Verstappen’s contract includes clauses related to performance, allowing for an early exit under certain conditions. Red Bull will evaluate Perez’s performance before deciding on a contract extension for the 2024 season, with Ricciardo as a potential contender. Marko suggests a decision could be made after the summer break based on performance.
