Max Verstappen has moved to end speculation linking him with a switch to Mercedes next season by stating he will remain a Red Bull driver in 2026.

However, the world champion did not confirm he would see out the rest of his contract with Red Bull that runs until 2028.

Verstappen was known to have been involved in talks with the Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, who has made no secret of his desire to persuade the four-time world champion to join the Silver Arrows. At this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, the Dutchman unequivocally declared his immediate future would be at Red Bull.

"It's quite interesting to follow all that [speculation] and the amount of nice stories that came out of it," he said. "But I've never really said anything about it because I was just focused on talking to the team about how we can improve our performance, future ideas for next year as well.
