Max Verstappen Demands Loyalty from Red Bull Amidst Team Turbulence and Career Speculations
Max Verstappen Identifies Top Quality He Expects from Red Bull
"I'm not into politics, nor do I enjoy engaging in political behavior."
Max Verstappen emphasizes that fidelity is the key quality he seeks from Red Bull.
The current F1 titleholder is poised to secure his fourth straight championship this season.
However, questions about his continued presence at Red Bull arose surprisingly amid the uproar surrounding the inquiry into Christian Horner, with Mercedes still holding aspirations to persuade Verstappen to join them.
Speaking to The Guardian, he expressed, "Loyalty is something that I hold in high regard and it's very meaningful to me."
My expectation for the team has consistently been met with excellence, and it's my desire to maintain this standard for the foreseeable future.
"Concluding my professional journey with Red Bull would be incredible."
"Spending all those years essentially with a single team would be remarkable."
Verstappen has clinched victory in five of the eight Formula 1 races this season, despite his RB20 not being as overwhelmingly superior to its competitors as it once seemed.
Red Bull has also navigated through the turmoil brought about by the probe into Horner's actions (where he was found not guilty), along with facing disapproval from Verstappen's dad, Jos, directed at the team's leader.
Helmut Marko, a steadfast supporter of the Verstappen family, was rumored to be on his way out, a move that might prompt the team's leading driver to depart as well.
Verstappen expressed his preference for avoiding such incidents and narratives within the team.
"We simply need to handle it and proceed beyond it."
"My agreement with the team involves fulfilling my duties, which primarily revolve around performance. That's where my concentration lies."
"I don't consider myself a politician, nor do I enjoy engaging in politics.
"I concentrate on my interaction with those around me during the performance, aiming to divert my attention away from what could be considered negative aspects."
Verstappen is unquestionably the top driver in Formula 1 at present.
"He mentioned that he never viewed F1 as a profession."
Everything began as a leisure activity, a fervor that evolved into a career.
"Of course, it's not exactly employment, but driving is truly my passion."
"Pushing a speedy car to its maximum potential feels incredible. However, it's the surrounding aspects that lend it a work-like quality, the elements that aren't as pleasurable."
