Max Verstappen says a long-term future at Red Bull hinges on whether the team can provide him with a competitive car before his contract expires in 2019.
Verstappen is currently in his second season with Red Bull, one which has seen him retire from five of the opening 11 rounds of the season due to a mix of reliability issues and collisions outside of his control. The teenager's frustration at Red Bull's mixed campaign -- where it is a distant third behind Ferrari and Mercedes -- has prompted speculation he could be tempted by a move to a rival team.
