Three-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen just dropped the mic 🎤 on swirling speculation about his future. During a press conference ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, the Dutch racing phenom confirmed he'll stick with Red Bull through 2025 – and fans are revving with excitement! 🏆
\"OK, yes,\" Verstappen declared when pressed about his commitment, adding: \"We're already working on next year's car… that means you're driving for the team.\" This comes despite Mercedes boss Toto Wolff openly eyeing Verstappen to fill Lewis Hamilton's soon-to-be-vacant seat. 🕶️
With a contract through 2028 and a 69-point championship lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris, Verstappen seems laser-focused 🎯 on maintaining Red Bull's dominance. He’s already won seven races this season, including last week’s Spanish GP.
Meanwhile, Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu made waves with his upgraded Kick Sauber chassis in Spain. Though finishing 13th, Zhou told reporters: \"We should be all having the grip, the confidence… looking forward to tracks that suit this year's car.\" His future remains uncertain as the F1 driver market heats up – with Zhou admitting Carlos Sainz's decision could shape opportunities. 🌏
One thing's clear: The 2025 grid is shaping up to be as unpredictable as a rainy Monaco GP ☔. Stay tuned for more tire-smoking updates! 🔥
