It’s been a big couple of weeks for Red Bull Racing! Max Verstappen re-signing then crashing out in Zandvoort, and Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda stepping up for Isack Hadjar after his boxing accident.
So what’s the future at Red Bull Racing now Max Verstappen has signed? Has Max just shut all doors for Red Bull’s young drivers? And does Red Bull’s sister team, Racing Bulls, give them an unfair competitive advantage?
Plus, why did Carlos Sainz decide to stay at Williams when he’s driven for Ferrari and McLaren before? Was it the right call?
