While a certain blur seemed to surround the future of Max Vestapn, it is now acquired that the Dutch will continue his career with Red Bull next season.

The quadruple world champion has only one solution to leave Red Bull before the end of his contract: put 120 million euros on the table to buy the last three years of his contract …
