Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer believes that the level of high-profile personnel exits from Red Bull will see Max Verstappen “probably leaving the team at some point.”
Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer predicts that Max Verstappen will likely leave Red Bull due to the recent high-profile personnel exits from the team. Verstappen appears dissatisfied with his current position in F1 and has expressed criticism towards the new technical regulations and the team’s competitiveness with RB22. The departure of his race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, to McLaren further adds to the list of notable technical staff leaving Red Bull. Palmer believes that this departure will prompt Verstappen, who has been battling for non-race-winning positions, to seek new opportunities outside the team. Unless Red Bull shows significant progress and a clear plan, Verstappen may not stay beyond this season, especially given the ongoing departures and challenges faced by the team. The Dutch driver will be looking for a turnaround in Red Bull’s performance when F1 resumes in Miami on May 1-3.
