Max Verstappen has accused people of “stirring the pot” regarding his future at Red Bull.
The Dutchman pledged his commitment to the team, despite links to Mercedes and Aston Martin, then aimed a dig at those speculating he may leave.
“People are waffling so much throughout the whole season, while the only one that actually can or should speak is not speaking – that’s me,” he told Sky Sports F1.
“And I do that on purpose, because it makes no sense to start throwing things around. And actually, that should be the same for everyone.
“Some people just like to stir the pot. Some people just like to create drama. But for me, it’s always been quite clear.
“For next year, I’m already discussing with the team the plans and things that we want to change for next year, so that means that I’m also staying with the team for next year.”
