The decision ends months of speculation about his future. It also reportedly comes with a huge financial commitment from the team.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>F1 business journalist Marc Limacher claims Verstappen will earn \u20ac92 million ($107 million) per year from 2027. Performance bonuses could reportedly take that figure to \u20ac115 million ($134 million) per season. The four-year deal could therefore be worth \u20ac460 million ($538 million). Red Bull and Verstappen have not officially confirmed these figures.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Max Verstappen\u2019s reported $500 million+ deal shows Red Bull\u2019s huge commitment<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull confirmed ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix that Max Verstappen had signed a contract extension through the end of 2030. <!-- -->The announcement finally settled one of the biggest questions in the F1 driver market.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>According to Limacher, the deal includes a reported annual salary of \u20ac92 million from 2027. Bonuses could add another \u20ac23 million each year. That would take his possible yearly earnings to \u20ac115 million.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>If Verstappen reaches the maximum amount in every season from 2027 to 2030, the total would reach \u20ac460 million.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>However, these numbers have not been officially confirmed. The exact terms of Verstappen\u2019s contract remain private. Therefore, the figures should be viewed as reported details rather than confirmed facts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The reported package shows how important Verstappen is to Red Bull. The Dutch driver has won four straight Drivers\u2019 Championships from 2021 to 2024. He has also become the face of Red Bull\u2019s modern F1 era.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>His decision to stay is even more significant because Red Bull has faced difficulties under the new 2026 regulations. <!-- -->Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren have shown strong form. This led to repeated speculation that Verstappen could consider moving to another team.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Max Verstappen keen to continue with Red Bull<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes was regularly linked with the four-time world champion. His future became one of the biggest talking points in the paddock. Instead, Max Verstappen decided to continue with Red Bull.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>\u201cI\u2019ve always said it: the team is like a second family to me, and I feel very comfortable here. <!-- -->I came to this team hoping to win races. What we have achieved together has been simply wonderful- we have experienced many incredible moments and won four world championships,\u201d Red Bull quoted Verstappen as saying.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Verstappen also backed Red Bull\u2019s new leadership under team principal Laurent Mekies. He praised Mekies and his plans for the team.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>\u201cTo continue this journey with the same team where I have spent my entire career is something very special and something I have always wanted,\u201d Verstappen added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Mekies knows that keeping Verstappen is only the beginning. Red Bull must now build a car capable of fighting for more championships.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>\u201cWe\u2019re not there yet. There are still more races to win, more milestones to reach, and more history to write\u201d, he stated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>Verstappen\u2019s decision has ended the biggest F1 guessing game. He will not leave Red Bull for now. If the reported figures are accurate, the team has made one of the biggest financial commitments in Formula 1 to keep its star driver.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/international-sports\/max-verstappen-salary-surge-new-red-bull-deal-comes-with-a-staggering-500-million-price-tag\/articleshow\/133401054.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Verstappen (Image credit: Max Verstappen\/Instagram) Max Verstappen will remain with Red Bull Racing until the end of the 2030 Formula 1 season.
