Red Bull cible Oscar Piastri comme option pour remplacer Max Verstappen

Red Bull a identifié Oscar Piastri comme son option privilégiée pour remplacer Max Verstappen si le quadruple champion du monde venait à quitter l'écurie. Des sources dans le paddock de Miami ont confirmé ce plan malgré le contrat de Verstappen pour l'année prochaine.

Le directeur d'équipe Laurent Mekies et Oliver Mintzlaff sont prêts à solliciter Piastri dans l'éventualité où Verstappen changerait d'écurie, prendrait une année sabbatique ou quitterait la Formule 1. L'équipe considère le pilote comme un élément central de ses opérations techniques, commerciales et internes, plus de 2 000 employés comptant sur la stabilité à ce poste. Red Bull a investi dans le junior Isack Hadjar, mais ne le juge pas encore prêt à piloter l'équipe suite au départ d'Helmut Marko.
