Verstappen and Leclerc have been seen as two of the most promising drivers of F1\u2019s younger class. Their respective long-term contracts will see both of these top drivers competing against each other. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Horner<\/strong>, the Red Bull Team Principal, affirmed the significance of Verstappen\u2019s contract extension to the team\u2019s future prospects. According to Horner, the forthcoming regulation changes in 2021 present a number of hurdles for teams. By ensuring as much continuity in the team as possible, Horner believes that Red Bull will be better able to ensure a smooth transition between regulatory regimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autosport<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YaUHpVmtVZM?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Verstappen, his continued partnership with Red Bull is a sign of both parties\u2019 confidence in each other as they try to win a world championship.
