Red Bull is said to be interested in the services of Oscar Piastri in case a spot becomes available at the team in 2027.
The 2026 season has just started, sparking discussions about potential changes in the transfer market. Max Verstappen’s future is a focal point, given his discontent with the current technical rules. If Verstappen decides to stick with F1, his position at Red Bull hinges on the team’s performance and the positive direction shown at the Miami GP. Red Bull is reportedly eyeing Oscar Piastri as a Plan B option, although luring him from McLaren poses a challenge. Mark Webber, acting behind the scenes, is exploring additional choices. The interest in Piastri reflects a possible shift in Red Bull’s strategy, as the team looks to possibly diversify from its traditional talent development approach. Despite these speculations, Red Bull’s strategies are contingent on Verstappen’s ultimate decision, with other drivers also being considered as potential alternatives.
