Red Bull has yet to make a decision on Max Verstappen’s team-mate for the 2026 F1 season, but the pieces are fitting into place.
Six seats are still available for the 2026 F1 season, with Mercedes expected to retain George Russell and introduce Kimi Antonelli. Max Verstappen is committed to Red Bull, securing one spot, but his teammate is yet to be announced, with four drivers competing for three seats within the Red Bull family. Yuki Tsunoda’s seat is in jeopardy due to poor performances, while Isack Hadjar’s strong showings could see him promoted as Verstappen’s teammate. Team advisor Helmut Marko favors Hadjar, making him the front-runner for the seat.
