Max Verstappen is on a long-term contract with Red Bull until the end of 2028 and has forever been in praise of the team. However, recent reports state that there is ongoing unrest within the team, which might be a factor inducing a move for the 26-year-old.
The three-time world champion has since talked of the need to make decisions logically instead of emotionally. Verstappen then concluded by stating the mutual respect shared between him and the Red Bull F1 team.
I think the most important thing is not to make decisions based on emotion, because that will always backfire. I'm a patient person myself, I don't over-worry things. I appreciate the fact that I have a very long history with the team. Loyalty is very important and I think it is not always there in F1. Fortunately in my case it is there and I think it is mutual for us.Max Verstappen via formula.hu
Verstappen has been a strong advocate of loyalty through and through, which is a telling sign of his commitment to the team. He will now hope to win many more races and succeed on greater terms with Red Bull in the future.
