Red Bull COLLAPSING after Verstappen's SHOCKING STATEMENT!

#f1news #redbull #maxverstappen
When Red Bull unveiled their RB20 for pre-season testing in Bahrain, there were warning signs of a 2023 domination repeat. Fast forward four months, and the competitive landscape has totally shifted. Mercedes finally made their ground-effect car work with a series of big enhancements, and McLaren has maintained its excellent development trajectory. Ferrari has taken a step back due to issues with its current upgrade package, but it has also been hunting Red Bull at tracks suitable for the SF24.

What could Red Bull do to turn things around in the coming months and make sure Verstappen doesn't leave? 🏎

[@Chyeahokay]

Copy Mclaren and merc, like they did to redbull.

[@cchhrriiss222]

“Turn things around” What are you talking about ? Redbull has won most of the races and lead BOTH Championships. What else do you want/expect from them ? To win EVERY race and get EVERY Pole ? So you want F1 to be Boring 🤦🏾‍♂️ Silly Question.

[@brentritchie6199]

I think it will be close but there is no doubt how fast and consistent Max Verstappen is and he will be very hard to beat in the championship even if his car is not as good.

[@FormulaAction]

There's no doubt that Max is extremely fast and consistent. But, do you also think he'll be able to easily beat the likes of McLaren and Mercedes if they keep on improving and Red Bull stay stuck in their development? Could maybe Norris still catch up this season?

[@FormulaAction]

Who would you suggest they should put next to Verstappen?

[@McLarenMercedes]

@@FormulaAction Ricciardo. Remains the only driver to beat him over a season and run him close enough (2018). But if Red Bull really wants to spice things up they should sign a young F2 driver from their own driver academy. At any rate I'd say that yound driver will do better than Perez.

[@brentritchie6199]

@@FormulaAction Riccardo for next year then an talented rookie for 2026. Who should spend 2025 in the Toro rosso team.

[@DILF117]

7 out of 12 for p1. He has podium finishes there as well. Then he has top 5 finishes. Pretty dominant.

[@sloglas]

Main problem at Red Bull is Jos Verstappen.

[@rama-n-i]

Maybe the team is trying to find away to replace the Honda unit, Jos is just a side objective I think

[@joshtheking1772]

Jos is gonna be banned from the garage and all Red Bull operations soon. Horner has had enough. Marko is going to be moved to the front office managing the Red Bull Academy and out of the Red Bull F1 team. Max is either gonna have to grow up and become a man or leave the team. Thats for him to decide. I think by Spa, Jos will be axed from the garage.

[@eddiewynne691]

That man is a shit stirrer...when he cannot get his own way... every where he has ever been...I know I was in the game.

[@talkietime6856]

Ok, Brit clown.

[@akshshah7691]

Only won 7 of 12 is so funny

[@FormulaAction]

I know right 😂 We're so used to seeing him win, how many races do you reckon he'll win in the remaining 12?

[@akshshah7691]

@@FormulaAction 6 - 8 maybe if they work a miracle for the car in summer break

[@IvorSew-tp5zt]

If Merc approves Jos's presence in the garage then Max joins them

[@maxferrarikiller6863]

Laughable. How many points is Max leading the championship ? And where is Russel and Hamilton? Not even near.

[@jackieturner6515]

Vestapen was leading because he had no completion ddrrr now other teams are catching up he doesnt like competition he likes his own way whatcha this space....

[@mauricetoussaint7283]

What's laughable is your dumb comment. A lot of races to come this year and if Merc have turned a corner RB will be worried, especially given they only have one driver who can compete. Now, FO.

[@joshtheking1772]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Max in an Audi or a Mercedes for the 2026 season. Russell's contract is up at the end of 2025, and I think Wolff would throw a 5 year $60M deal with a signing bonus plus incentives to get Max. Mercedes needs a franchise driver and I dont think Russell fits the bill. Audi might offer up a 4 year $50M deal with a higher signing bonus and incentives and be willing to wait it out until a Top German driver emerges on the grid. Now my opinion right now, I see only one scenario emerging. I think for 2026 its gonna be Max Verstappen in the number one seat and Mick Schumacher in the number two seat. After 3 years Mick will move to Audi and be the number one there. Max is going to Mercedes and I dont think anyone is gonna disagree with that. The only question at this point is, is Wolff gonna be with the team going into 2028?

[@FormulaAction]

Have you sent your plan to Toto already? 😂 In all honesty, I think Verstappen to Mercedes seems to be pretty certain yeah, it's more a question of when instead of if. And I think 2026 could be the first real opportunity. As for Audi I don't see this happening as they'll be entering with a brand new engine, and this is exactly the department that Mercedes is so good at. What makes you think Mick will be in the Mercedes in 2026? Do you see him joining from next year already, or will he be at a lower ranked team in 2025 before joining Mercedes in 2026? My guess is they'll take Kimi for 2025 and perhaps shove Russell out after 2025 for Max. Next to all this, do you really see Toto walking away from the sport in 2028? I mean, Ferrari just poached his successor so he'll first need to find someone that could fill his shoes, unless he want Vowles to take over by that time (if he's proven himself more at Williams). But overall I think you're pretty spot on!

[@pagesk2001]

I thought than there is a power unit problem and Max can’t use full power.

[@ashleymoore9063]

Josh is poisonous to any team

[@talkietime6856]

Horner is.

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

Max is going to Merc

[@Onyourbiketoo]

Hmmm so Red Bull illegally over ran the developmet cap an cheated in the first year and now everybody else who did not cheat has caught up with them ... guess RB knew what they were doing.

[@linkpersson3976]

Lol so you think that overspending budget was making such a huge difference? How did they cheat more?

[@Onyourbiketoo]

@@linkpersson3976 yes, I think that overspending with additional development and wind tunnel testing made a difference and gave them an advantage. Overspending is not following the rules and many call that cheating.
