Max Verstappen has confirmed he will remain with Red Bull Racing despite recent controversies surrounding the team and its principal, Christian Horner. In a press conference, Verstappen addressed speculation about his future, stating that he does not plan to leave even if Red Bull is not the best car at the end of the season. This comes amid tensions involving his father, Jos Verstappen, who accused Horner of preventing him from participating in a Legends Parade at the Red Bull Ring. Horner has denied these allegations, suggesting that any interest from Mercedes' Toto Wolff in Max Verstappen is a distraction tactic. Verstappen also made clear his plans for the 2025 season during the AustrianGP.
