F1 News: Money cannot lure Verstappen away from Red Bull

Amid fake rumors  of a $160 million per year$160 million per year offer made by Mercedes for the Dutchman’s services, Max Verstappen said he is not interested.

When asked if there was any truth to the $160m rumors, he replied: “No. But at the end of the day, even if let’s say that would be the case, $160 million…. money is not going to be the differentiator for me to go somewhere.

“I’m happy with what I’m earning already, it’s about performance.”

Verstappen is the odds-on favorite to secure a fourth straight title in 2024 and  a potential 5th straight title in 2025.

“I know myself that if I will be driving for P5 or P6, you get quite grumpy with yourself,” he explained.

“So, it’s always about performance at the end of the day. I mean, everyone knows that, Toto [Wolff] also knows that.

“My future is within Red Bull at the moment.”
