Red Bull risk becoming ‘SLOWEST’ team on the grid
Red Bull have been warned about the possibility of becoming genuine backmarkers in 2026, following a series of high-profile departures from the team.
The exit of key figures like designer Adrian Newey and team principals Jonathan Wheatley and Christian Horner has raised concerns about the team’s future performance.
Rumors suggest that star driver Max Verstappen could also be on his way out, potentially leaving Red Bull without a reliable replacement.
The team has consistently finished in the top four of the constructors’ championship since 2008, but the recent changes may jeopardize this streak.
Without a strong driver like Verstappen, Red Bull could struggle to compete at the front of the grid in the upcoming seasons.
