After Newey has left, Red Bull will become a mid-level team. You can see the trend already. Perez's pace is what the car is actually capable of. Verstappen is just that good, he can drive around the shortcomings of the car and squeeze every bit of performance out of it. But even he struggled now and then, like in Singapore. Horner and Marko will have to pray for a very rainy 2025 season.
@@Shlokmisra noo it's not like that... But as Verstappen kept winning races and also won the 2023 driver's championship so they didn't feel the need to change the car.. And checo was pressured to do the same but he couldn't,.instead he got dnfs after dnfs which required a lot of costings as well.. So i hope they would change the car also balance money..
@caydenph2741 You can't overdrive a car ? You don't race, do you. Albon explained it best. The car is too on its toes for most drivers. A scaple sharp front and loose rear. If you're not at Max's level, it will cause you to back off. And very few are at Max's level of confidence.
@quackyduck1499 Out driving it means ending in a wall, there's no such thing as "beyond the limit". If Max takes the car to a certain point, then that's the limit real limit, regardless if other drivers can't adapt to how pointy it is.
My prediction Hamilton fulfills his dream of driving for Ferrari next year and pulls off Nico rosberg move (surprise retirement) at the end of 2025. Sainz returns and replaces the seat.
I would hope that Carlos is smart enough to avoid Red Bull-there is so much toxicity there. Between Jos, Helmut, and Christian-not even mentioning Max-there's just not a good enough reason to for Carlos to risk bloodying his nose.
@@jeankepeeters6195 he's disgruntled with the Red Bull car in 2024. And if it's not dominant in 2025 he has already signaled he'd be ready to switch team for a more competitive platform.
@@goorthgaming4466 I agree, partially... The F1 paddock has the memory span of a gold fish with alzheimer's. One year driving a blue golf kart made by William will make everyone forget how ballsy and crafted he is with a competitive car under him. Could really go either way.
Hey RB… This is NOT how you set your brand-new driver that you just signed on the right foot. This team’s cracks are already starting to show for this year.
Trying to remember when Checo BEAT Max. The races he won were with Max starting from the back or other mechanical problems. Thing is, Checo THOUGHT he could after standing on top of the podium a few times, and he forgot what his job was. As for Lawson, I don't see how it's insulting to tell him to NOT try and beat Max. Sure, it's an ultimate goal, but he's still all but a rookie, and I think he knows his place. I think he knows why he's there and he knows not to push it too hard or he will be gone just like the rest. They've given him an opportunity to learn from the best, and he knows it!
The other side of that coin, he has to earn as many points as he can for them to win the WCC, even if anything happened to Max in a race. Still pressure to perform, but not the same mountain to climb.
Max - Perez in wins: 62 - 6, pole positions: 45 - 4. Perez has to be on a very good day on a circuit that suits him (streets with many angular corners) and Verstappen needs to be on a of day, for Perez to stand even a shred of a chance. And do you remember Miami, where Perez started from Pole and Max from far back in the field, but still overtook him
It feels like Lawson is set for failure by Red Bull already. It's almost as if they had second thoughts and were trying to set him on a negative path to justify dumping him ASAP.
I think RB should consider Nico Hulkenberg. He's quick, he's a team player and together with max great chance for RB to get the next world championship. My thoughts
Of course Horner would say that. If there really is a chance for Carlos to be there, I don't see it happening till at the very least 2026 if not later. The thing is, Carlos's stock in the F1 paddock has risen. He is a great driver. He's a team player and he makes the car better, regardless of what has happened in Ferrari in the recent year. It was sad to see him go as both Charles and Carlos made the team it is right now. If I was Carlos, I would be looking to go with a team that can promise me stability and support rather than the chaos that is RB racing development. While I respect Helmut, and his track record speaks for itself, the experiment that is RB driver development is a failure with upper-managerial in-fighting. I would stay far away from RB and build up my stock else where till an opportunity presents itself. He is that good a driver.
So logic has prevailed in Réd Bull, promote two no hopers at the altar of "young talent" and RB young driver programme...you are good enough or not...and neither Hadjar or Lawson in that category....same Antonelli...send Lawson to Williams,swap for Sainz, give Max some competition, win constructors and drivers Championships and save on crash damage costs....
As 'wishy/washy' as Red Bull has been, finally understanding their faith in Perez was wrong, this just has 'me' wounder if they 'can' really make good timely decisions!
After the RB management has deliberately tried to scuttle Max's attempt to get a fifth WDC, by promoting Lawson to hold him back, they have given Jos Verstappen the power to negotiate a deal where Max joins Newey; Honda & Alonzo in 2026.
@maltesko-nw4nf All F1 fans know that winning any F1 championship is a team effort. As proof: When Toto recruited Russell, against the Mercedes team’s advice, the team unity was destroyed by a mid field driver, who is not a team player, just like Lawson ........ and ..... we all know what has happened to the Mercedes team! Lawson will definitely seriously handicap Max's attempt at winning his fifth WDC in 2025 as he the RB team has been severely handicapped. Can you provide any proof that Lawson will be an asset to the RB team?
@@midas7394 Hm, Russell a midfield driver? In 2024 Russell finished before Hamilton in 13 of 24 races... and his average position was 5.06 versus 5.8 for Hamilton.. And my question to you is: How will Lawson handicap Verstappen? By not taking away points from his competitors? or by not being able to protect his back?
@@midas7394Mercedes did not fuck up because of Russell instead its their bipolar shit box of a car. In some races it performs like sliverstone and spa but has understeer or just straight garbage for hamilton on the other tracks like sao paolo [majority of the time the car could not turn for its own good.]
I feel like Carlos is not the best choice because he seems to be world champion material [until ferrari dropped him] and not a number two driver for a team. RedBull probably wants Max to keep winning championships and Carlos to be bottas.
@@khufra-7924 Yes Carlos has potential to win championships. But if Carlos wins, then he would be better than Max. And if Red Bull has a better driver than Max, well then that is good for the team. So why would the team? No khufra, I think there is another reason; Red Bull is afraid that those two drivers wil do what Hamilton and Rosberg some years ago did to each other... causing collitions with their teammates. When Max and Carlos started racing in the F1 nine years ago they were rivals too. But (Dutch myself) like to see the best drivers race to eachother, and yes if Max win one less championship, so be it.
Telling your #2 driver they can't talk about setting up the car has already failed red bull as they have had many drivers that have had to drive the set up that max wants, Perez is a prime example. Saint should not go there, Horner and Marko will damage Sainz career like Perez and drivers before him. You would want to be able to make changes to your car so you get the best out of your driving style,Max has got his own car to drive, which suits his driving style. Gassy, Albon, and Perez all got screwed for that simple reason, but Horner and Marko will never understand that.
Horner suggest Cadillac should take in Perez and Dan, and Sainz could get a seat back at Red Bull. Me thinks Horner is full of hot air and great at marketing.
Sadly, the RB team is destined to become a mid field team as they have followed Toto's catastrophic lead to cripple their team with a mid field driver who is not a team player. We predict that the RB management will lose their best driver, just like Tot lost his best driver after recruiting a mid field driver, who both have proved that they are not team players, to hold their best driver back.
So the logic is to have the max win at all costs. If that even means not helping your young talent grow? So what happens when max leaves, which he will? They are going to have weak talent.
@ Porsche has not dropped its bid for F1 entry.. latest information is that they want full control of the team.. something RBR didn’t want.. it’s currently in talks to merge with Williams in 2026 with Porsche having senior partners.
It is over for Red Bull they are washed, Lawson is not a good driver he will do nothing he cannot even compete with Max and with that great weakness I do not see Red Bull winning the next championship simple as.
After Newey has left, Red Bull will become a mid-level team. You can see the trend already. Perez's pace is what the car is actually capable of.

What exactly is the "SHOCKING" statement?..
Helmut IS a tool...what a horrible way to motivate a driver. Much less a junior...that second seat is where talent goes to die. Run Liam. Run.
My prediction
Hamilton fulfills his dream of driving for Ferrari next year and pulls off Nico rosberg move (surprise retirement) at the end of 2025. Sainz returns and replaces the seat.
Hamilton will for sure want to surpass michael tho
They'll do anything not to give Yuki the drive. Even if Liam fails they've got Carlos on speed-dial.
I would hope that Carlos is smart enough to avoid Red Bull-there is so much toxicity there. Between Jos, Helmut, and Christian-not even mentioning Max-there's just not a good enough reason to for Carlos to risk bloodying his nose.
Max is one of the least toxic individuals on the grid.
You’re kidding right???
I think Sainz would replace Verstappen, if he leaves.
@@jacksonianc is this your own opinion or the one from the British biased commenters?
What makes max toxic??
I can see Carlos at Red Bull after Max leaves for another team in 2026

@@goorthgaming4466 I’m sure they’re going to renew the contract. But I’ve been out of the loop… have I missed an important announcement?
There’s zero chance Carlos would go to Red Bull in the next few years. Red Bull burned that bridge. Red Bull disrespected Sainz in many ways.
He will get over it as he will want that drive and he is not a baby.

Max already blocked sainz move , he doesn't want a competitive team mate!...
Racing for red bull means never being taken seriously as a possible contender for the championship and only being there to make Max win.
It feels like Lawson is set for failure by Red Bull already.
It's almost as if they had second thoughts and were trying to set him on a negative path to justify dumping him ASAP.

F1 is such a merry go round. 😅
clown show...
So Williams will officially be the RB reject team.
Lawson is not Tsunoda...RedBull did it wrong. Perez didn't deliver on 2024 (especially) that's a fact, but Lawson is just a mid-card driver.

What the hell is cod eyes saying?
the first one you need to be faster than is always your teammate, not to not challenge him... ofc not to Helmut Marko :)))
For the most part F1 is a political contest with regards to getting a seat. There are so many guys that can drive.
F1 youtubers really be making up the most random bull crap for views. Hard to find a legitimate source nowadays
very true sir.
Lol so Lawson can’t say anything about setup. Aka “be better in max’s car than max”.
I’m sure he can and will try, but they will only make it a tenth of max still lol.
Sadly, the RB team is destined to become a mid field team as they have followed Toto's catastrophic lead to cripple their team with a mid field driver who is not a team player.
We predict that the RB management will lose their best driver, just like Tot lost his best driver after recruiting a mid field driver, who both have proved that they are not team players, to hold their best driver back.
Toto was right, checo really did say the car was fucked. He had it printed out and everything. 😂
Carlos better avoid RB..Williams is best for Carlos, better than RB as a team. And not a teammate with Max....
Run! Sainz Run!!!!!
Stay Away from that Team!!!!!!!!!
Based on the monumental send off Ferrari gave to Carlos, I suspect he's going back when Lewis calls it a day.
Its more likely that Oliver Bearman is going to fill the second seat in Ferrari, in a few years when Lewis retires.
@maltesko-nw4nf You may be right, let's see how Oliver does over a full season. I think he will be very close to Ocon.
Red Bull only wants sainz fur the Santander sponsorship
Just don’t go redbull avoid the most toxic team in the history of f1 , if they wanted you they would have signed you already !
Saint should wait until Horner is gone. Horner is an unserious person and he can’t be trusted.

yuki to another team, lawson back to rb, carlos to red bull.
Bla, bla, bla
Of course they want him back, Carlos has strong sponsors like Santander, redbull wants sponsors money nothing else.
