These reports also suggested that if Marko was to leave Red Bull Verstappen would go with him.

In a recent interview with De Telegraaf, Verstappen has revealed the important factor that will ensure he remains at the team.

“What is very important to me is that there is peace in the team. That everyone focuses on the car and its performance,” Verstappen said.

“I now also have the feeling that it is calmer than at the start of the season. After my first world title in 2021, it was not without reason that I signed a long deal with Red Bull. All I want is a quiet and peaceful environment.

“As long as I am happy with the team, there is no reason to leave.”
