La Red Bull si rammarica da tempo di essersi fatta sfuggire Oscar Piastri

L'ex presentatore di Formula 1 Will Buxton afferma che la Red Bull si rammarica da anni di non aver ingaggiato Oscar Piastri come pilota junior. Il team sta ora puntando sul pilota della McLaren come potenziale sostituto di Max Verstappen.

Will Buxton ha condiviso le sue opinioni nel podcast Up To Speed. Ha sottolineato che la Red Bull ha dichiarato pubblicamente il suo desiderio di aver ingaggiato Piastri in precedenza e di aver evitato di lasciarlo entrare nell'Alpine Academy prima che la McLaren lo assicurasse. Buxton ha aggiunto che la scuderia di Milton Keynes sa di aver perso l'opportunità con il giovane pilota australiano.
