The reigning world champion will be 31 when his contract comes to an end in the aftermath of the 2028 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Verstappen is now undoubtedly entering the conversation for the best drivers of all time\u00a0and has the opportunity to challenge Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher\u2019s joint-held record of seven world titles, there has been talk that he could retire before this point.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old has already been in the sport for nearly a decade after making his F1 debut at a record young age of 17 back in 2015 and holds a desire to compete in different legendary motorsport races in his prime, rather than in the latter stages of his career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Sergio Perez &#8216;needs to leave Red Bull&#8217; as Marko hints that his days are numbered[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking about how he sees his future in F1, Verstappen said: &#8220;I know of course there comes a point when you stop winning. But if you&#8217;re P15, you might not enjoy it. But if you&#8217;re still fighting at the front, trying to win races and have the prospect of coming back to the top, then I could certainly still enjoy F1.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen was also asked whether he thinks the day will come when he loses his hunger for racing, to which he replied: \u201cCertainly. I think that&#8217;s very normal. Of course, I&#8217;m still very young, but at some point, I think you&#8217;ve had enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has that at some point, I think because you realise that your body can&#8217;t handle it anymore. In some sports, you have to accept that. And then it is time, in a sense, to retire. At some point, you may want to do other things or race less, of course.
