Red Bull crown Verstappen 2025 F1 champion
In the hype video for Red Bull’s new look for the 2026 season, there’s an oversight with the car still displaying the number 1, which is reserved for the current world champion. Verstappen, the reigning champion, will not be using number 1 this year. He confirmed he will run with number 3 instead, despite considering number 69 for marketing reasons initially. The mistake in the video suggests a reluctance to let go of the championship dream from the Red Bull camp. Verstappen had discussed the likelihood of losing the number 1 in November, making the error surprising. The team should acknowledge and rectify this misstep promptly to avoid confusion among fans.
