Two times Formula One world champion Max Verstappen discusses life after Formula One but with a slight twist to the story. He does have plans of continuing driving except for one particular event.
The 2022 world champion broke into the Formula One world at the teenage age of just 17. Driving for the likes of Toro Rosso, he was surely one for the future as a generational talent in line.
He signed with Red Bull replacing Danil Kvyat and making his debut at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix. As the rest they say is history for the youngest-ever Formula One debutant.
Max Verstappen’s future in Formula One after 2028
Max Verstappen signed a new contract with Red Bull, keeping him in the British outfit until 2028. He will be 31 by then and will surely be competing at the highest level looking at the current scenario of F1 drivers.
However, once the Dutch international retires from Formula One, he is not looking for a role in the media. He explained that analysis or commentary is something that he does not enjoy doing.
He surely has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest Formula One drivers and is now competing for more achievements. Besides, he still has a long way to go to catch Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher.

No future in the IndyCar 500 for Max Verstappen
The future of Max Verstappen in Formula One is uncertain after 2028. He may end up in another competitive team or retire from the sport one and for all.
However, what is certain is his dislike for the IndyCar 500. During an interview, he expressed that although he has respect for the drivers, he does not like driving on the oval-shaped track.
Adding to that, he explained the risk behind driving in Indy500 after spending his entire life in Formula One. Both sports are very fast and life-threatening in their own ways.
So Le Mans?
Max Verstappen: I would like to drive this race one day. Just not now.
And another playground? The Indy500?
Verstappen: No, no ovals for me. I’ve said that before. I have a lot of respect for what the drivers do there. #AMuS
