Max has a contract until 2026 with Red Bull. We need to focus on ourselves so as not to lose energy and work on our own things, thinking about who is on the team. It's not just a question of drivers, but we need to look at the whole. So, to date, it is not an aspect we need to discuss. But I also say: never say never.
Vasseur said, as reoported by f1ingenerale.com.

However, he has also stressed the fact that his team needs to focus on what it currently has so that the team can achieve its future objectives.
