Jos Verstappen drops Red Bull BOMBSHELL as 2025 debate…read more
Jos Verstappen, the father of four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen, has shared his thoughts on the leadership at Red Bull Racing amid ongoing discussions about the team’s driver lineup for the 2025 season. With Max continuing to dominate and secure championships, Red Bull now faces uncertainty over who will partner with him next season. There is reportedly a lack of consensus among team leaders regarding the second driver for 2025.
Despite Max’s fourth title in 2024, his strong performance at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Red Bull’s overall performance has raised concerns. While Max secured another individual championship, the team struggled to repeat their past success in the Constructors’ Championship, finishing third, a sharp decline compared to their 2022 and 2023 dominance. A key factor behind this dip is the underperformance of Max’s teammate, Sergio Perez, who has faced challenges both on and off the track. Perez’s struggles have hindered Red Bull’s efforts to secure both titles, as they did in previous years. Although Perez is contracted for 2025, Red Bull has yet to confirm whether he will remain with the team.
Amid this uncertainty, Jos Verstappen has expressed confidence in Red Bull’s leadership, particularly in Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. In an interview with De Telegraaf, Jos emphasized that Marko is “on top” of decision-making within the team, and he trusts Marko’s leadership as Red Bull makes critical decisions for the upcoming season. Jos’s comments reflect the Verstappen family’s trust in Marko’s guidance and Red Bull’s direction, despite the ongoing speculation surrounding Perez’s future. As the 2025 season approaches, the debate over Red Bull’s driver lineup is set to intensify.
