Three-time world champion Max Verstappen says it would be a 'beautiful story' if he were to spend his entire F1 career with Red Bull. Newly crowned world champion Max Verstappen says it would be a "beautiful story" if he were to remain with Red Bull for the rest of his Formula 1 career.  Verstappen sealed a third successive drivers' title over the weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix, with the Dutchman on course to break multiple records in the dominant RB19.Having been promoted from Red Bull's junior outfit Toro Rosso (now AlphaTauri) midway through his second season in the sport in 2016, Verstappen's 49 subsequent victories have established himself as the team's most successful driver in terms of race wins. He is contracted to Red Bull until the end of the 2028 season but has previously suggested the quality of the car the team provide to him will be the key factor in whether that deal is extended."It would be a beautiful story if I could drive here forever, that's for sure, something that will be amazing," Verstappen told Sky Sports F1.

Verstappen says his desire for self-improvement ensures he remains motivated while amid near his near total domination of the sport over the last year or so.Having won his first title in the most intense and dramatic of circumstances by controversially pipping Lewis Hamilton to the 2021 title, Verstappen eased away from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in the second half of 2022, and has been in a league of his own for almost the entire 2023 campaign.Asked if he prefers a closer contest to what he has experienced this season, Verstappen said: "Yes and no.
