维斯塔潘曾考虑离开F1，最终决定与红牛续约
马克斯·维斯塔潘表示，在考虑是否继续留在F1后，他决定与红牛续约，并将“接受”F1中不受欢迎的动力单元规则。
马克斯·维斯塔潘表示，在决定签署一份为红牛驾驶的新合同之前，他曾考虑过自己是否还想继续参加F1比赛。
车队今天宣布将他的原有合同延长，该合同原本到2028年。维斯塔潘将至少留在红牛至2030年。
维斯塔潘一直直言不讳地批评F1的动力单元规则。这项运动将在未来几个赛季对其引入修订，但在2030年之前无法做出重大改变。然而维斯塔潘表示，他准备在此之前容忍这种情况。
他说，他年初的不确定“主要是关于是否真的继续参加F1”。
“但规则正在慢慢变得好一些，可以说，我愿意接受它。希望到2030年能打开另一个机会，可能是V8引擎的到来，让我重新考虑。”
维斯塔潘在履行F1承诺的同时，已开始参加其他系列赛，包括今年的纽博格林24小时。他表示打算继续参加其他锦标赛。
“对我来说，这绝对是我想要继续做的事情，”他说。“但当然，这有点取决于F1赛历，明年什么会是可能的。”
他最感兴趣的是参加“所有大型耐力赛——一般来说就是24小时比赛，驾驶它们会很酷。”
随着红牛近几个赛季状态下滑，维斯塔潘一直被传为梅赛德斯和迈凯伦等对手车队的目标。当被问及时，维斯塔潘没有否认他的管理团队曾与对手车队交谈，他回答说：“无所谓。”
英文原文
Max Verstappen says he considered whether he wanted to keep racing in Formula 1 before deciding to sign a new deal to drive for Red Bull.
The team today announced an extension to his previous deal which ran to 2028. Verstappen will remain at Red Bull until at least 2030.
Verstappen has been an outspoken critic of F1’s power unit regulations. The sport will introduce revisions to them over the coming seasons but significant change is not possible before 2030. However Verstappen said he is prepared to tolerate the situation until then.
He said his uncertainty early in the year was “mainly about actually continuing in Formula 1.”
“But the rules are slowly getting a bit better and, let’s say, I’m willing to live with it. And hopefully by 2030 it opens up another opportunity, potentially with V8 engines coming in, to look again.”
Verstappen has begun competing in other series alongside his F1 commitments, including the Nurburgring 24 Hours earlier this year. He said he intends to continue racing in other championships.
“For me that was definitely something that I want to keep doing,” he said. “But, of course, it depends a bit on the F1 calendar, what will be possible also next year.”
He is most interested in entering “all the big endurance ones – 24-hour races in general, they would be cool to drive in.”
As Red Bull’s form has dipped in recent seasons, Verstappen has been tipped as a target for rival teams such as Mercedes and McLaren. When asked, Verstappen did not deny his management had spoken with rival teams, replying: “it doesn’t matter”.
