Red Bull boss Christian Horner admits Max Verstappen won't "be a Fernando Alonso" by racing into his 40s.
The Dutchman, who is eyeing a third straight world championship, recently sparked speculation over his future amid continued change within the sport. Verstappen remains the sport's youngest ever winner and, despite only being 25, is now into his ninth F1 season.
F1 has faced criticism for the perception it is putting entertainment before sporting merit and, as its popularity continues to grow, changes to Grand Prixs are being considered that will see more racing taking place. Verstappen made his views clear when he told Portugal's Sport TV last week: "I think that's way better for the excitement. I naturally, of course, hope that there won't be too many changes – otherwise I won't be around for too long."
