Max Verstappen remains under contract with Red Bull through the end of 2028, with performance-based exit clauses that could activate after 2026 but have prompted ongoing retention talks including reported pay raises to remove them. At age 28 entering the 2026 campaign, the four-time champion has shown no confirmed plans to step away despite earlier spring comments about regulations and enjoyment, and he continues competing amid a mixed season featuring occasional DNFs and strong qualifying pace. Traders assign an 89.6% implied probability to no retirement this year given his prime form, long-term deal security, and the absence of any official announcement or irreversible commitment to leave Formula 1.
