Christian Horner has taken a clear dig at Lewis Hamilton following the news that Max Verstappen has signed a new long-term contract with Red Bull. Verstappen has signed a new deal to keep him at Red Bull until 2028. And Horner has given his reaction to tying the Dutchman down.
Horner said: “To have Max signed with Red Bull through to the end of ‘28 is a real statement of intent.
“Our immediate focus is on retaining Max’s world championship title, but this deal also shows he is part of the team’s long-term planning.
“With the Red Bull Powertrains division working towards the new engine regulations for 2026 we wanted to make sure we had the best driver on the grid secured for that car.”
