Shanghai: Max Verstappen again publicly committed his long-term future to Red Bull on Thursday, saying that as long as he was happy there was "no reason to leave".
There has been speculation the triple world champion could move to Mercedes to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton next year after Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was accused of inappropriate conduct towards a woman colleague.
Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing ahead of the season-opener in Bahrain but the off-track scandal rumbled on for weeks.
The Dutchman Verstappen is signed with Red Bull until 2028 but suggested earlier in the season that he would consider leaving if the team parted company with long-time mentor Helmut Marko.
Verstappen's father Jos has claimed that Red Bull faced being "torn apart" if Horner remained in position.
