Verstappen still managed to win the Drivers' Championship but his father Jos believes it will be tougher in 2025 without Newey running the show behind the scenes. "I'm a little doubtful," said Jos. " Red Bull needs to build a car that is more predictable in all conditions. Looking at the second half of 2024, you can't be optimistic.

Max Verstappen's future with Red Bull faces uncertainty as a Formula 1 insider raises concerns over the team's ability to deliver a competitive car for the 2025 season.

Can the people in Newey’s wake sort that Red Bull out? If they can’t I don’t think he will be able to stay with the McLarens or Ferraris.”

Max Verstappen will be joined by a new team-mate in Liam Lawson this season as Red Bull look to reclaim the contructors' title crown they lost to McLaren last year
