Red Bull confident of holding on to Verstappen

After seeing Max Verstappen's thrilling Austrian Grand Prix win Red Bull boss Christian Horner dismissed suggestions of the Dutchman having his heart set on a move to a rival team.

Last year, Verstappen extended his contract to the 2020 season, but ahead of the race in Spielberg reports in German media suggested Helmut Marko was worried about Verstappen being able to leave due to certain clauses in that deal. Sebastian Vettel was able to leave Red Bull for Ferrari in 2014 by triggering clauses in that deal.

That very issue was put to Verstappen during the Thursday press conference.
