Final Speech by Max Verstappen:
“Good evening, everyone. I’m honestly a little bit lost for words right now, but I’ll do my best to express just how grateful and excited I am. Today marks a huge moment in my career as I’ve signed a new contract, and it’s an honor to continue this journey with such an amazing team, and of course, all of you—the fans who have supported me from day one.
When I think back to where it all began, it feels like a dream. As a young kid, I never imagined I would have the opportunity to race in Formula 1, let alone have the success I’ve been lucky enough to experience so far. But here we are, and it’s all thanks to the hard work, dedication, and passion of everyone around me. This new contract isn’t just a commitment to continue racing; it’s a promise to keep striving for excellence, to push the limits, and to always give my best on and off the track.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented people in the sport—my incredible team at Red Bull Racing, the engineers, the mechanics, and everyone who makes it all possible behind the scenes. Without their hard work, dedication, and constant support, none of this would be achievable. Together, we’ve already accomplished so much, but I believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what we can achieve.
The fans have been with me through every victory, every challenge, and every single race. You’ve been incredible, and I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you who have cheered me on, whether at the track or from home. Your passion and energy are what drive me to keep pushing, to keep improving, and to keep chasing the next championship. It’s an honor to be part of this sport, and it’s an honor to do it with such an amazing following.
But let’s be clear—this contract isn’t just about continuing to race. It’s about setting new goals and aiming even higher. I’m not satisfied with what we’ve done so far. We’re in this together, and I’m excited for what’s to come. I want to keep breaking records, setting new benchmarks, and inspiring the next generation of drivers who look up to what we’re doing here. Formula 1 is about constant evolution, and I’m ready for the next chapter.
Thank you all again for your support. This is just the beginning of the next phase, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.
Let’s keep pushing!”
