2021 F1 World Champion Max Verstappen seems to have agreed to extend the contract with Red Bull Racing on the highest terms in F1 history. It is expected to be officially announced in the near future.
According to the Netherlands’ largest daily newspaper, “Telegraaf,” the estimated annual salary is expected to be 50 million dollars, or regarding 5,759 million yen in Japanese yen.
It is the same level as the 7th F1 champion Lewis Hamilton in a single year, but it is said that an agreement was reached on an ultra-long-term contract of 4 to 5 years, making it the most expensive contract in the history of F1 over 72 years. It is said that it will be. Even if it is four years, the total amount is 23 billion yen, which is a tremendous amount.
Verstappen reportedly verbally agreed during a three-day pre-season test in Barcelona and completed the final contract process at the Milton Keynes factory on Tuesday, March 1.
Red Bull Racing hasn’t announced anything at this time, and Vermeulen’s manager Raymond Vermeulen hasn’t commented on previous reports, but said it’s expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
The British tabloid “Daily Mail” also reported a source comment that “all agreed.”
24-year-old Verstappen currently has a contract by the end of 2023. With a five-year contract, he’s supposed to stay on the Milton Keynes team in the UK until he’s at least 30 years old.
After a fierce title battle with Mercedes and Hamilton last season, Verstappen’s bond with Red Bull has become stronger.Immediately following the big reversal of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen said, “I hope I can do it with them for the next 10 or 15 years. I want to do it with them for the rest of my life.”I was talking regarding my love for Red Bull。
