Red Bull Racing also working on a contract extension for Horner

Besides a contract extension for Max Verstappen Red Bull Racing hopes to have more good news soon. Helmut Marko told Servus TV that Red Bull are also working on a contract extension for Christian Horner.

Now that Verstappen has won his first world title in Formula 1, his reputation has grown even more. In situations like this, the big teams like Ferrari will start pulling for you, but Verstappen has no desire to do so. The Dutchman already expressed his wish to drive for Red Bull his whole life and according to Marko both parties are in talks to extend the contract.

New contract for Horner

Additionally, Marko had more good news, because next to a new contract for Verstappen they are also busy with a new commitment for the team boss. Red Bull's management wants to ensure stability for the coming years, in order to build on the success of recent years.

In Horner's case it would be a new contract until 2026, which would give the team boss until the year in which the new engine regulations come into force. Red Bull hopes to create stability in a transition phase where the aerodynamic regulations are changed (2022) and later the engine regulations (2026).
