Commenting on the agreement just ratified, in fact, the idol of the Dutch public has relaunched the challenge to his direct rivals, announcing that he will remain on the throne of F1 for many more years: “I really enjoy being part of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team – said the native of Hasselt – so choosing to stay until the 2028 season was an easy decision. I love this team and last year was just incredible. Our goal, since we started working together in 2016, has been to win the championship and we have. So now it’s about keeping the number 1 on the machine for the long haul“he warned.
