Red Bull has to keep in mind that it will face a future without Max Verstappen at some stage but the intention is for him to still be with the team in 2026, says team principal Christian Horner.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has said Max Verstappen still intends to stay with the team for next year despite speculation about a move to Mercedes which would shake up Formula 1.
