Red Bull has shaken up its driver line-up in its driver development programme ahead of the 2026 season.
Ahead of the 2026 season, Red Bull has removed two junior drivers from its development programme.
The programme is renowned for fostering talents like Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, and Carlos Sainz in the past.
Despite its history of nurturing young drivers, Oliver Goethe and Tim Tramnitz will no longer be part of the programme.
Goethe, who previously competed in Formula 2, will continue racing in the series without Red Bull backing.
Tramnitz, who finished fourth in last year’s Formula 3 standings, failed to secure a competitive seat for 2026, leading to his departure from Red Bull’s programme.
Red Bull has also bid farewell to Jules Cantara and Christopher Feghali in their junior development ranks, signifying a shift in their approach.
