MAX'S BULL MONTE

Verstappen planning to take it as Red forever

- DANIEL MOXON

MAX VERSTAPPEN declared it his "target" to stay with Red Bull for the rest of his Formula 1 career.

Having now won four straight titles with the Milton Keynes-based team, the Dutchman thinks retiring from Fl as a one-team man would be a "very beautiful" story.

Just three men have more titles than Verstappen and Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Juan Manuel Fangio all did so with different teams.

But Verstappen, 27, is adamant he does not need to succeed away from Red Bull to secure his legacy.

He said: "It is not like I need to try to win the championship somewhere else. That is not a desire from my side.

"I am just happy where I am at. And it would also be very beautiful if you just could stay with one team and race there forever.

"Am I bothered about a legacy? No.
