Max Verstappen has signed a new contract with Red Bull that will keep the four-time Formula One world champion at the team through 2030, according to a report published by Al Jazeera on August 20, 2026.

The extension adds two years to the end of his previous agreement, which had been due to expire after the 2028 season. The new deal brings recent speculation about a possible departure at the end of that contract to a close.

The agreement gives Red Bull longer-term certainty around its leading driver as the team plans beyond the current contract cycle.
