Red Bull apunta a Oscar Piastri como posible sustituto de Max Verstappen

Red Bull ha identificado a Oscar Piastri como su opción preferida para reemplazar a Max Verstappen en caso de que el cuatro veces campeón del mundo abandone el equipo. Fuentes en el paddock de Miami confirmaron el plan a pesar del contrato de Verstappen para el próximo año.

El jefe de equipo, Laurent Mekies, y Oliver Mintzlaff están preparados para buscar a Piastri en caso de que Verstappen cambie de equipo, se tome un año sabático o se retire de la Fórmula 1. El equipo considera que el piloto es fundamental para sus operaciones técnicas, comerciales e internas, con más de 2.000 empleados que dependen de la estabilidad en dicho puesto. Red Bull ha invertido en el piloto junior Isack Hadjar, pero todavía no lo considera listo para liderar el equipo tras la marcha de Helmut Marko.
