Verstappen's Red Bull extension to 2030 keeps performance break clauses intact

Verstappen's Red Bull extension to 2030 still contains performance-based break clauses, BBC Sport reports. If the car fails to meet competitive targets, the four-time champion can leave. Mercedes, which George Russell confirmed was pursuing Verstappen for 2027, now faces a door that is closed but not locked. Verstappen told Red Bull: work on the car, not on convincing him.
