VERSTAPPEN EXTENDS RED BULL CONTRACT
Max Verstappen has been confirmed at Red Bull Racing through the 2020 season after extending his contract with the Austrian team.
It had been rumoured recently that the young Belgian-Dutch driver might be making a potential move to Ferrari in the coming years, but his new Red Bull contract extension quickly put those rumours to rest.
Verstappen has already won two races this year, the first in Malaysia and the second just a few weeks ago in Mexico. He also has two other podium finishes under his belt this season. With 2 races left of the 2017 season, he's looking at 2 more chances to be holding a trophy before the long Winter break.
Partnering Verstappen in 2018 will be current team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo's Red Bull contract expires at the end of 2018 and it's rumoured that the team may be letting him go in favour of someone else, although not too many names have been thrown around just quite yet.
