Ralf Schumacher believes a key Red Bull figure could simply not be up to the job demanded.
Ralf Schumacher believes there is a weak link in Red Bull’s F1 team, pointing at technical director Pierre Wache. With Adrian Newey stepping down, Wache has taken on a more prominent role within the technical team. Red Bull is planning a major upgrade for the United States Grand Prix to address issues with the RB20 which have threatened their championship hopes. Despite Max Verstappen’s strong position in the drivers’ standings, Schumacher doubts Wache’s ability to fill Newey’s shoes. He worries that Red Bull may struggle, especially if Verstappen were to leave, as the Dutch driver has been crucial for the team’s success.
