Red Bull needs Sergio Perez to improve and there are at least three alternatives within its driver pool. But Edd Straw argues there’s a perfect, overlooked option for what Red Bull needs, and he’s available for 2025…
Red Bull could resolve its driver crisis by considering Valtteri Bottas for a 2025 slot, offering a proven and experienced teammate for Max Verstappen. Bottas has shown his capability to contribute key points to constructor championships and win races, qualities that Red Bull needs in a wingman for Verstappen. Despite previous criticisms, Bottas’s performance and adaptability make him a suitable candidate to support Verstappen on the track. His experience at Mercedes and understanding of competing against top-tier drivers could be valuable for Red Bull’s success. Considering Bottas for a short-term deal could benefit both the team and the driver in the upcoming season.
