F1, Max Verstappen closes the door to Mercedes for 2025

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen in a press conference definitely closed the door to Mercedes for 2025: "I will stayò at Red Bull 100%, I have already said it and I repeat it. The much more important thing è is to have the car more and more competitive for the future. We also focus for next year to be more and more competitive". 

The three-time world champion assured that the team is already working to ensure him a great car in 2025: "I have already talked about it with the team and we are working on it, we are also focusing for next year with the goal of being more competitive".

Verstappen also denied farewell in case of an uncompetitive car: "I don’t think that’s how F1 works, it doesn’t è that all of a sudden you can say ‘goodbye guys’ and leave. I have a long contract and I’m happy with the team I’m in

On the Gp d'Austria track: "It's nice to be here, è the home race with good food. The fast corners here are fun, but with the run-off ways there is always talk about track limit, tires overheating and that brings understeer to the point of going off the track a few millimeters. With gravel I hope to be moreù accurate, but è all to be seen in action on the track".
