Jos Verstappen has expressed his thoughts on the uncertain driver line-up situation at Red Bull, with the partner for his son in the 2025 F1 season still undetermined. The status of Sergio Perez, Max Verstappen’s current teammate, holding onto his seat remains unclear despite being under contract until at least the end of next year. Liam Lawson’s potential late-season promotion to Red Bull is gaining attention after replacing Daniel Ricciardo, which could result in Perez’s departure, given his challenges in supporting Verstappen during the 2024 season. Verstappen’s father prefers giving Lawson more time to settle in F1 before making a change, advocating for Lawson to finish the season at Red Bull and gain confidence. Yuki Tsunoda is also a contender for the Red Bull seat alongside Verstappen, emphasizing the importance of a driver who can elevate Max’s performance. Verstappen Sr. is open to the idea of Lawson joining Red Bull if it benefits Max and contributes to his development in the sport.
