That Max Verstappen has found his place at Red Bull Racing is abundantly clear. The Dutchman has scored almost fifty podiums with the team from Austria, and is currently leading both championships. Verstappen's contract runs for a few more years and according to Helmut Marko there is little chance of him leaving after that.

"We have to make sure he has a competitive car and I think then we are assured of his presence," Marko explained at ServusTV. He and Verstappen looked back on Friday and the question of the relationship between Red Bull and Verstappen came up.

The Dutchman himself confirms what Marko states. "That's exactly how it is. I feel very comfortable in this team and I would like to drive here for another ten to fifteen years. I really like the whole team." The Dutchman, together with his team, knows how to get the most out of his car this season and that shows on the track.

"I also have a lot of fun with the mechanics. Of course you always have to remain professional, but I'm really enjoying myself here," confirmed Verstappen. A switch to Mercedes or another team seems out of the question and if it's up to Verstappen himself we'll see him driving the Red Bull colours for a long time to come.
