The chief executive of Formula 1 reacted to Max Verstappen's threat to quit the sport and declared he "1,000 per cent" wants Lewis Hamilton not to retire.
Verstappen's hint that he would walk away came ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last month. He has made it known he is not a fan of the Sprint format and appeared especially annoyed at the prospect of more changes to the weekend structure.
And so the Red Bull racer made it clear his F1 career will be more brief than expected if such adaptations continue. But Martin Brundle was not convinced by that threat and his own team boss Christian Horner also expects the Dutchman to remain in the sport for many years to come.
