Red Bull punta su Oscar Piastri come possibile sostituto di Max Verstappen

Red Bull ha individuato in Oscar Piastri l'opzione preferita per sostituire Max Verstappen qualora il quattro volte campione del mondo dovesse lasciare la scuderia. Fonti nel paddock di Miami hanno confermato il piano, nonostante il contratto di Verstappen per il prossimo anno.

Il team principal Laurent Mekies e Oliver Mintzlaff sono pronti a puntare su Piastri nel caso in cui Verstappen cambiasse squadra, prendesse un anno sabbatico o lasciasse la Formula 1. Il team considera il pilota fondamentale per le sue operazioni tecniche, commerciali e interne, con oltre 2.000 dipendenti che fanno affidamento sulla stabilità del ruolo. Red Bull ha investito sul giovane Isack Hadjar, ma non lo ritiene ancora pronto per guidare la squadra dopo l'addio di Helmut Marko.
