Max Verstappen's future with Red Bull faces uncertainty as a Formula 1 insider raises concerns over the team's ability to deliver a competitive car for the 2025 season.

Helmut Marko confirmed Red Bull have to be "competitive throughout the season" if Max Verstappen is guaranteed to stay with the team.

Max Verstappen has admitted to being 'done' with Red Bull after a nightmare Formula 1 scenario emerged last season. The Dutchman may have earnt his fourth consecutive world title last year, but the 2024 season was far from seamless at Red Bull.

Max Verstappen will be joined by a new team-mate in Liam Lawson this season as Red Bull look to reclaim the contructors' title crown they lost to McLaren last year

With just 11 GP starts under his belt, Lawson has been handed arguably the toughest gig in F1: being Verstappen’s team-mate. There’s no reason to believe that Lawson will be a match for Verstappen in 2025 but he cannot suffer the same deficit which cost Perez his drive at Red Bull.
