Verstappen laughs at the F1 rumour mill: 'It was always clear to me'
Max Verstappen's future has been a hot topic, but the reigning world champion has now blown the lid off and revealed his decision.
And that is to remain with Red Bull Racing. Speaking to the likes of GPblog, Verstappen spoke about the rumours that populated the paddock in recent times.
"It's quite interesting to follow all that and the amount of nice stories that came out of it."
Verstappen never spoke a word in reaction to the speculations because his attention was elsewhere.
"But yeah, for me, I've never really said anything about it, because I was just focused on talking to the team about how we can improve our performance, future ideas for next year as well, and that's why I had nothing really to add ever."

"But yeah I think it's time to basically stop all the rumors and for me it's always been quite clear that I was staying anyway," Verstappen added.
The feeling at Red Bull aligned with that of Verstappen, the Dutchman said.
"I think that was also the general feeling in the team anyway because we were always in discussions about what we could do with the car."
"I think when you're not interested in staying then you also stop talking about these kind of things and I never did," Verstappen concluded.
