Red Bull team principal Christian Horner reveals “a lot of interest” in F1 2025 seat

While168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen is tied down to a long-term deal running to 2028, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s contract expires at the end of 2024.
Red Bull have repeatedly insisted that Per♛ez’s position is safe for next season despite his at times underwhelming performances this year alongsid✃e Verstappen.
However, the Me༒xican’s seat could be up for grabs in 2025. And according to team principal Ho🍌rner, there are plenty of drivers who want it.
"It's just the position that we're in it's great to have a lot of interest," Horne﷽r told Sky Sports News.
"And it's not just from those drivers [Perez and Ricciardo] - it's from drivers outside our spectrum as well regarding 2025✤.”
Which drivers could be interested?
Given the dominance of the⛦ RB19 this season, most of the grid would probably like to drive for Red Bull - even if it means becoming Verstappen's teammate.
Current occupant Perez will be lookin🎃g to make a firm case to kee🌳p hold of his seat over the next year and a half.

Meanwhile, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo, who was parachuted in to replace the underperforming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri - Red Bull’s sister team - has already made it clear he want🐓s to return to the parent outfit on a full-time basis.
Ricciardo’s teammate,168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Yuki Tsunoda, also holds aspirations of sealing a promotion to Red Bull o✨ne day.
Red Bull have several junior drivers who could move themselves into contention, with Liam Lawson appearing the most l🦋ikely to make the step up to F1 in th🌱e coming years.
Outside of ꧃Red Bull’s y🧔oung driver programme, there are several candidates who may be available in 2025.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris is known to have already held talks with Red Bull and recently admitted that leaving McLaren was “in the back” of his mind prior to a recent turn🎃around in form.

Red Bull are beli🥃eved to think highly of Norris, who ♓is considered a future world champion by many and one of the most exciting prospects on the grid.
Highly-rated McLaren teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Oscar Piastri has enjoyed an impressive rookie F1 campaign so far and has been tipped as a possible Red Bull d♏river in the future.
Last year, Horner spoke of his regret a🦩t missing the chance to sign the Australian to Red Bull’s junior pool when he was enjoying a hugely successful rise to F1. So could Piastri be an option to partner Verstappen?
Another potential candidate might be 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, whose contract with Ferrari expires at the end of 2024. However, the Monegasque has repeatedly stressed his desire to remain with Ferrari and is ಞrumoured to be close to agreeing an extension that will keep him at Maranello until 2026.
What about 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon? Albon, who was dropped by Red Bull at the end of 2020 in favour of Perez, has been a sꦡtar performer ever since securing his return to the F1 grid with Williams in 202🐟2.
The British-born Thai’s impressive displays have been met with🦩 praise from both Horner and Helmut Marko. Never say never, but having split from the Red Bull family in 2022 to put his full faith in Williams, a reunion feels extremely un🐓likely.
