The Dutch driver has been with the Milton Keynes-based team since the middle of the 2016 season, following a one-year stint with Toro Rosso. This agreement effectively ends speculation regarding a potential move to rival teams like Mercedes or McLaren. Despite facing challenges with the current car's handling, specifically mid-corner understeer, Verstappen has secured three podium finishes this season. The announcement precedes the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix, scheduled for August 23.
Why it matters
