Red Bull mira em Oscar Piastri como opção para substituir Max Verstappen

A Red Bull identificou Oscar Piastri como sua opção preferencial para substituir Max Verstappen caso o tetracampeão mundial deixe a equipe. Fontes no paddock de Miami confirmaram o plano, apesar do contrato de Verstappen para o próximo ano.

O chefe de equipe Laurent Mekies e Oliver Mintzlaff estão preparados para buscar Piastri caso Verstappen mude de equipe, tire um ano sabático ou deixe a Fórmula 1. A equipe vê o piloto como central para suas operações técnicas, comerciais e internas, com mais de 2.000 funcionários dependendo da estabilidade na função. A Red Bull investiu no piloto júnior Isack Hadjar, mas ainda não o considera pronto para liderar o time após a saída de Helmut Marko.
