Max Verstappen<\/a> has hinted his current contract with Red Bull Racing<\/a> could be his last.<\/p>\n

In a new docuseries on Dutch television \u2013 Max Verstappen: Anatomy of a Champion \u2013 the 25-year-old spoke of the demands racing has on his life.<\/p>\n

It's easy to forget Verstappen has been a regular on the Formula 1<\/a> grid since 2015 when he made his debut at just 18 years old.<\/p>\n

He is also the youngest driver to participate in an F1 weekend. He took part in practice at the Japanese Grand Prix at just 17 in 2014.<\/p>\n

In the TV series, Verstappen indicated he may only have a few seasons left in him before he calls it quits.<\/p>\n

"I mean, I love the driving bit, that's what I do best," said Verstappen.<\/p>\n

"I don't like everything else around it. I just keep saying to myself, 'a few more years, a few more years'."<\/p>\n

Verstappen is currently contracted through to 2028 on a deal that is reportedly worth $55 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That would take him through to 30 and mark 13 seasons in F1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Max just wants to focus on the racing," said his father, Jos Verstappen\u00a0<\/p>\n

"He wants to compete, he wants to win. We talk about everything and you know, he has to do a lot of stuff he doesn't like. So that's how he sees it."<\/p>\n

Verstappen claimed his first F1 title in controversial circumstances in 2021, beating Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton to the crown with a last lap pass.<\/p>\n

Red Bull nailed the new-for-2022 regulations, dominating the season.<\/p>\n

Verstappen defeated Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, scoring nearly 150 more points than the Monegasque driver.<\/p>\n

Three races into the 2023 season, Verstappen leads teammate Sergio Perez having won the Bahrain and Australian grands prix.<\/p>\n
