How long do the drivers’ current contracts last?

Formula 1 teams are securing their futures with a mix of long-term commitments and performance-based contracts as the grid evolves. Key stars like Max Verstappen are tied to Red Bull through 2028, while Pierre Gasly has committed to Alpine for the same duration. Meanwhile, McLaren has locked in Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri with multi-year deals, and Mercedes continues with George Russell and rookie sensation Kimi Antonelli through at least 2026.
