维斯塔潘意外续约红牛至2030赛季
马克斯·维斯塔潘已与红牛车队续约，将留队至2030赛季结束。
马克斯·维斯塔潘（维斯塔潘）已延长与红牛车队（红牛 比赛）的合同，将继续留在这支F1车队直到2030赛季结束。
这位四届冠军及其在车队的未来在过去一年半的大部分时间里一直是猜测的对象，最突出的是梅赛德斯（梅赛德斯）有意招揽他——去年这一问题因他合同中与成绩相关的条款而被化解——而今年则因维斯塔潘对新F1规则的反应再度引发关注。
维斯塔潘效力了近十年的车队架构近年来也发生了重大变化，关键人物如赫尔穆特·马尔科（Helmut Marko）——他在维斯塔潘升入F1之前对其成为红牛青训车手起到了关键作用——以及阿德里安·纽维（Adrian Newey）和克里斯蒂安·霍纳（Christian Horner）都已离开。
他的比赛工程师吉安皮耶罗·兰比亚斯（Gianpiero Lambiase）也已同意"不晚于2028年"加盟迈凯伦（迈凯伦）。
但维斯塔潘（Verstappen）现在已被宣布将在未来四个赛季继续留在红牛车队，这一消息是在他的主场荷兰大奖赛——目前计划的最后一届该赛事——前夕宣布的。
他目前的合同于2022年宣布，有效期至2028年，并包含上述与表现相关的条款，因此这一新安排实际上相当于在原合同基础上延长了两年。
红牛表示，宣布维斯塔潘延长留队让它们感到“无比自豪”，并称这是“F1历史上最成功、最具决定性的合作之一”。
红牛还称他是车队“历史、身份与成功”的“决定性组成部分”。
维斯塔潘在引述中表示，他"对续约感到非常高兴"，并感谢红牛公司、车队以及领队洛朗·梅基斯——他于去年7月接替霍纳——"对我的信任"。
他表示自己"很兴奋能继续与所有人合作，一起重返巅峰"。此时红牛在新规则时代的开局表现喜忧参半。他形容这支车队"就像我的第二个家"，在这里"我感到非常自在"。
维斯塔潘补充道："现在与洛朗共事已经一年多了，这也很棒，我看到了他为车队制定的清晰愿景。米尔顿凯恩斯的每个人都相信我们正在建设的东西，我期待着下一个篇章，为更多胜利而战，为冠军而竞争，同时继续塑造这支车队的未来。
"在赞德沃特的最后一届大奖赛期间宣布这一消息，对我来说也是一个伟大的时刻。希望我们能为车迷们在收官之战送上一份特别的告别。"
梅基斯表示，留住维斯塔潘对红牛、Oracle红牛车队以及整个F1和赛车运动来说，都是“令人振奋的好消息”。
梅基斯补充道：“他对我们车队以及红牛赛车运动历程的影响是变革性的，他一直是我们共同取得的一切成就的基石。”
“继续携手前行的决定，源于马克斯和车队多年来建立的信任，也源于马克斯对我们的人员、我们的文化以及我们对未来愿景的信心。”
英文原文
Max Verstappen has extended his contract Red Bull Racing and will remain at the Formula 1 team until the end of the 2030 season.
The four-time champion and his future with the team has been the subject of speculation for much of the past season and a half, most prominently amid interest from Mercedes about securing his services - which were headed off last year by performance-related clauses in his contract - and this year in the wake of Verstappen's reaction to the new F1 ruleset.
The fabric of the team that Verstappen has been with for the past decade has also changed significantly in recent years, with key figures such as Helmut Marko - who was pivotal in making Verstappen a Red Bull junior before his graduation to F1 - Adrian Newey and Christian Horner all gone.
His race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase has also agreed to join McLaren "no later than 2028".
But Verstappen has now been announced at staying with Red Bull for the next four seasons, on the eve of his home Dutch Grand Prix - the last planned edition of the race at this time.
His current contract, announced in 2022, ran until 2028 with those aforementioned performance-related clauses, so this new arrangement essentially represents a two-year extension to that.
Red Bull said it was "immensely proud" to announce Verstappen's extended stay, calling it "one of the most successful and defining partnerships in F1 history".
It also called him a "defining part" of the team's "history, identity and success".
Verstappen was quoted as saying he was "really pleased with the contract extension" and thanked Red Bull itself, the racing team and team principal Laurent Mekies - who succeeded Horner last July - "for the trust they put in me".
He said he was "excited to keep working together with everyone to get back to the top again", amid a mixed start to the new rules era by Red Bull - a team he described as "like a second family for me" where "I feel very at home"
"Getting to work with Laurent now for over a year has also been great, I see a clear vision he has for the team," Verstappen added. "Everyone in Milton Keynes believes in what we are building and I am looking forward to the next chapter, fighting for more victories and competing for championships as we continue to shape the future of this team.
"To make this announcement during the last Grand Prix at Zandvoort is a great moment for me as well. Hopefully we can give the fans a special send-off for the final race."
Mekies said retaining Verstappen was "fantastic news for everyone at Red Bull, Oracle Red Bull Racing, as well as F1 and motorsport as a whole".
"His impact on our team and on Red Bull’s motorsport story has been transformational, and he has been fundamental to everything we have accomplished together," Mekies added.
"The decision to continue our journey together is rooted in the trust Max and the team have built over many years, as well as Max’s confidence in our people, our culture and our vision for the future."
