Claims that tension between Max Verstappen and Red Bull is growing in Formula 1 are back on the agenda. Former driver and commentator Ralf Schumacher, speaking on Sky Germany, stated that the relationship between the parties has been seriously strained.
Schumacher argued that Red Bull started the season with a car that is difficult to drive and falls short of expectations, stating that the team's lack of performance is creating internal unrest. The German commentator said, "The bond between Verstappen and Red Bull has reached a breaking point."
According to Schumacher, Verstappen may have to choose between the Red Bull environment, where he has felt comfortable for a long time, and new sporting opportunities. In particular, there are comments that the competitive appearance of McLaren, which has been winning races with Lando Norris, has become attractive for the Dutch driver.
Claims that 28-year-old Verstappen is looking for a new team also remain on the agenda. In Formula 1 circles, it is being discussed that the star driver could move to a McLaren seat next season.
The situation at Red Bull will continue to be closely monitored for the remainder of the season, both in terms of the team's competitiveness and Verstappen's future.
