Red Bull adviser Dr Helmut Marko is not ruling out winter line-up changes at Red Bull and RB, despite the teams’ drivers being locked in for the rest of the F1 season.
Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko has hinted at potential changes within Red Bull and Alpha Tauri teams, despite confirming that the driver line-ups will remain the same this season. The decision means no driver swaps will occur when F1 resumes at Zandvoort after the summer break. Sergio Perez’s underperformance led to speculation that Liam Lawson or Daniel Ricciardo could replace him, but Marko emphasized Red Bull’s commitment to helping Perez regain form. Perez’s seat is secure until the end of the 2024 season, while Ricciardo has secured his spot at RB after a slow start to the year. With Lawson poised for a full-time F1 seat, the Red Bull family may see changes in the upcoming winter, as Marko alluded to a reshuffling of cards for 2025.
