2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

[Sergej]

So GP leaving as well.

Man, what happened to this team.

Can't see Max staying one more year, maybe even in F1.

Congrats to Mr. Mintzlaff, Yoovidhya and Mateschitz Jr. (honorable mentions to Mr. Marko and Horner too) - mission almost completed.
Never seen something like that in the past, what comes close to this exodus? Benetton mid 90s?
More and more it looks like a great decision to go for that last hurrah in 2025 - they aren´t going anywhere anytime soon.
Hannah Schmitz next and you can guess what comes last - probably by July/August.
Just speechless

It was online at 7AM in most countries but I wanted to read the article. I just did. Some nice person sent me the whole article.

It's being reported as a done deal by some outlets. This team is now sinking at an accelerated pace.

[Sergej]

Max may have taken the worst decision of his career by turning down Toto's offer.

Everyone expects Red Bull to rebound soon, but at this stage a further decline is just as plausible.

2023 was not that far ago. Makes sense that everyone saw the dream team peaked and decided it's time to move.

Max may have taken the worst decision of his career by turning down Toto's offer.

Or Merc just didn't have the muscles to pay out Verstappen's 3-year contract, which would be a massive amount of money.

Yep from memory the clauses in Max's contract the only way out was a huge buyout that on top of what ever they would have had to pay Max could easily be pushing the $500m mark if they offered him a 4-5 year contract might have been a step too far. It wasn't purely Max's decision

[Gillian]

What are the odds of Verstappen going with him as well!? A Norris v Verstappen at Mclaren would be very interesting

[Sergej]

I don't see McLaren taking Max, he seems a very unfit driver for the current McLaren culture.

[PlatinumZealot]

The begining of the end? Or blood letting?
Several senior staff depart ahead of 2026.
