News - 2026-09-15 - By Jenny Marsh

BBC Sport reported Max Verstappen discussed a new Red Bull contract, while any deal running through 2030 remains unconfirmed in the supplied reports.

Reports linking Max Verstappen with a Red Bull contract through 2030 have surfaced, but the term of that deal is not confirmed in the supplied material. BBC Sport reported that Verstappen discussed a new Red Bull contract in an exclusive interview, though the source summary provided here did not specify a 2030 end date.

Verstappen is sixth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 145 points. The Dutch driver, born on 30 September 1997, has made 242 Formula 1 starts and recorded 71 wins, 51 poles and 129 podiums from 2015 to 2026, while Red Bull has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors' titles since entering the sport in 2005.

Autosport and Motorsport.com also reported on Red Bull's handling of Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, where he finished second after being instructed to give back two positions. That race report adds context around his current season, but it does not confirm the reported contract length.
