Max Verstappen has made it known that teammate Daniel Ricciardo is the best teammate in Formula 1, the Dutchman believes that chances are high the Australian will renew his deal with Red Bull and the pair will continue to share the 'blue' garage for the foreseeable future.
Ricciardo has waited as long as possible to commit to a new contract with the energy drinks outfit amid talk of interest from Ferrari and Mercedes. The Australian also waiting on Red Bull's engine future with Honda which was only confirmed a couple of weeks ago.
When asked by reporters if he expected Ricciardo to be his teammate next year, Verstappen replied, "I think there is a high possibility of that happening. He’s already part of the team, so why would he leave?"
"He’s a great team mate. Outside of the car we have a lot of fun and when we’re in the car we both push each other to a higher level. I really enjoy working with him."
"He is one of the best teammates in this paddock and one of the strongest. I like the competition so it’s perfect to have him as my teammate," added Verstappen who trails the Australian by 28 points in the championship after nine rounds.
