Following his maiden F1 world championship triumph in 2021, the Dutchman 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:signed a five-year extension to his Red Bull💮 contract. By the time the deal expires, Verstappen will🐻 be 31 years old. 

Verstappen wrapped up his second successive world title at the Japanese Grand Prix after taking his 12th win from 1ꩲ8 race🌱s. 

Amid his domination of the 2022 campaign, Verstappen has been tipped for an F1 dynasty similar to seven-time world champions 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton. 

But Verstappen, a double world champion at the age of 25, has indicated that he has no desire to race as long as the likes of 37-year-old Hamilton or 41-year-old 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso. 

"I don't see myself driving until I'm⭕ 40 because I want to also do other stuff," Verstappen told the . 

"I'm having a lot of fun with what I'm doing right now and I'm still in F1 for 🐈a couple more years... I'm ꩲsigned until ’28.

"After that, it also depends how everythꦅing is going but I will probably try to do a few different kinds of racing because it's important also to try different things.”

He added: "I really enjoy bei🏅ng part of this team for a long time and hopefully for a long time to♛ come.”

Hakkinen claims Verstappen will leave Red Bull 

After beating Hamilton to the world title at the controversial 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 🌟Verstappen declared he wanted to stay with Red Bull “for the rest of my life”. 

But fellow two-time world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mika Hakkinen believes Verstappen may be temp🔴ted to switch teams when his Red Bull contr🐲act runs out. 

Mercedes have long been keeping tabs on Verstappen, having previously courted him when he was racing in European Formula 3 prior to being snapped up by the Red Bull junior programme. In 2020, Toto Wolff 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:ruled out the prospect of𒈔 Mercedes signing Verstappen while Hamilton was still at th꧒e team. 

“It is great that Verstappen signs such a long-term contract, but there is always the risk that when important people leave the car is no longer performing to the driver’s expectations,” H🔴akkinen told Unibet.

“At that poin𒁏t, a driver will wonder if it is time to switch teams. I don’t think Max Verstappen w🍨ill stay with Red Bull for the rest of his career.

“That’s just my opinion. But historica♏lly, drivers have often switched teams for various reasons, even if they had multiple titles with one specific team. That could be financial reasons, or simply because they were ready for a new environment.”
