168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen says he wants to stay at Red Bull “forever” after being linked with F1 rivals Mercedes and Aston Martin.

The newly-crowned four-time world champion was publicly courted earlier this year by Mercedes and has also been linked with potentially teaming up with legendary F1 designer Adrian N📖ewey when he moves from Re🍸d Bull to Aston Martin.

But Verstappe✱n, who is under contract with Red Bull until the end of 2028, insists he has no intention of leaving the Milton Ke💜ynes squad.

The Dutchman also downplayed the notio𝄹n he would need to win a world 🍒title elsewhere to cement his legacy as one of the greatest of all time.

“It is not like I need to try to win the world championship somewhere e🔯lse,” Verstappen told PA ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix.

“That is not a desire from my side. I am just happy where I am at. And it would also be very beautiful if you just could stay with one tea🐎m and race there forever. I would like to believe [that could be Red Bull]. That is the target."

When Verstappen's future was questioned earlier this y♈ear, amind Red Bull's internal wr𒀰anglings surrounding Christian Horner, rivals cast an eye.

Mercedes' Toto Wolff was the most keen on pursuing him, ꦑirkiꦉng his rival Horner.

However, Mercedes do now have Geo💃rge Russell and Kimi Antonelli for 2025 and beyond who could become a long-time ﷽duo.

Aston Martin wer✨e linked to Verstappen after bringing in his Red Bull colleague Newey.

But Aston Martin's competitive🎃ness, even with Newey on board, is yet to be proven.

But, Verstappen has now ma꧂de the clearest hint yet that he will stay put.
