Max Verstappen signs new three-year Red Bull contract

Max Verstappen has signed a contract extension with Red Bull until the end of the 2023 Formula One season.

The Dutchman became the youngest ever winner of a Grand Prix when he claimed victory in Spain in 2016.

He finished third in the 2019 drivers' championship, with three race wins and he's now targetting Championship glory.

"I want to win with Red Bull and our goal is of course to fight for a World Championship together", the 22-year-old told Red Bull Racing's website.

"I am really happy to have extended my partnership with the team. Red Bull believed in me and gave me the opportunity to start in Formula 1 which I have always been very grateful for.

"Over the years I have grown closer and closer with the team and besides the passion from everyone and the on-track performance it is also really enjoyable to work with such a great group of people.

"Honda coming onboard and the progress we have made over the last 12 months gives me even more motivation and the belief that we can win together. I respect the way Red Bull and Honda work together and from all sides everyone is doing what they can to succeed."
