Max Verstappen rules out pushing Verstappen Racing toward a future Formula 1 entry, confirming a long-term focus on endurance categories while he continues as a Red Bull driver.
Founded in 2022, the team fields GT3 machinery and runs endurance programs. Verstappen has already raced for the outfit, including a stint at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
Speaking to Formule 1 Magazine, Verstappen set a 10–20 year vision: a fully professional operation that competes to win across selected series, not merely to participate.
Verstappen rules out F1 team ownership as part of his long-term plan.
He frames the objective simply: race at the front, maintain high standards, and convert opportunities into victories. The emphasis is competitive credibility over brand extension or hobby racing.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That stance extends to governance. He dismisses an F1 ownership bid and rejects outsourcing day-to-day control, citing the intensity required to run a front-line outfit under modern demands.
Verstappen stresses a hands-on approach. He believes an owner must stay closely involved, and missing events would create unacceptable stress and dilute performance oversight.
Endurance racing therefore becomes the strategic lane. Its calendar and technical profile better match his priorities and allow staged growth while he remains active in Formula 1.
In parallel, he balances ongoing Red Bull duties with building the team’s foundations, backed by Red Bull support and aligned with his recent historic win.
Hands-on management remains non-negotiable for Verstappen.
The decision effectively removes an F1-entry distraction. Concentrating resources on GT3 and long-distance events should deliver incremental gains, rather than chasing manufacturer-scale infrastructure prematurely.
The message is consistent and pragmatic: grow Verstappen Racing methodically in GT and endurance, maintain professional standards, and leave Formula 1 ownership off the roadmap.
