Red Bull's Driver Lineup Uncertainty for 2025

Red Bull's motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has stated that Liam Lawson will secure a full-time seat in Formula 1 for 2025, escalating pressure on current drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Pérez. While Marko's comments suggest a potential replacement for Pérez, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner clarified that no decisions have been finalized, emphasizing that the contracts and performance of both drivers are still under review. Ricciardo, who has been hopeful about replacing Pérez, faces a crucial four-race stretch to prove his value to the team. Meanwhile, Verstappen's future with Red Bull remains secure, despite speculation of a move to Mercedes. The situation has left Ricciardo contemplating his options as he aims to maintain his Formula 1 career amidst increasing competition from Lawson. Overall, the dynamics within Red Bull's driver lineup are tense as the 2025 season approaches.
